A magnetic field of 2.00 T is applied to a bubble chamber to make the tracks of protons and other charged particles identifiable by the radius of the circles they move in. If a high-energy proton moves along an arc of a 3.30-m circle, what is the momentum of the proton? [q = 1.60 × 10^?19 C, m = 1.67 × 10^?27 kg]

Two resistors can be either connected to a battery in series or in parallel. In which case, if either, is the equivalent resistance the smallest?

a) When the two resistors are wired in parallel, the equivalent resistance is less than if they are wired in series. b) When the two resistors are wired in series, the equivalent resistance is less than if they are wired in parallel. c) Both series and parallel wiring will result in the same equivalent resistance. d) It is not possible to know which method of wiring will result in the lowest equivalent resistance without knowing the values of the two resistances.
