I performed the exact equation you did for equation 5 and i always end up with a negative exponent

When i do the equation with your numbers i also get a negative number. What you did wrong is when you divide with the 1.6 x 10 -19 you are using a positive 19.

should i be using a positive 19 instead of a negative 19?

Hello, would you mind posting all of the numbers you are using for the equations so I can get a better idea of what you're doing?
