The current for a 110 v 1/3 HP motor is 5 amps, and to give a voltage drop of 3% or 3.3 v the resistance allowed is 3.3/5 ohms, 0.66 ohms.
The total wire length is 380 ft so the resistance should be 0.66/380 ohms per ft, or 0.00173 ohm/ft. Wire tables show this requires #12 copper wire, with a cross-section area of 3.3 mm2.

Can you run a 10 gauge wire 250 feet to the barn on a 120 amp breaker in the house If not what amp breaker should I use?
#10 cable is no good for 120 amps, you need #2 cable, and it can be used at a distance of 250 ft.
What number wire gauge for a single pole light switch?
In residential wiring applications the most used is 14 gauge wire for light switches as long as the circuit breaker or the fuse is 15A. If your lighting circuit is on a 20A fuse/circuit breaker then you need to use 12 gauge wire
Can you connect 14 gauge wire to 12 gauge wire on a 20 amp breaker if the 14 gauge is the end of the run and dedicated to lights?
yesAnother (corrected) answer.NO! The circuit breaker is there to protect the wiring from overheating. It wouldn't matter where on the circuit you decided to put the 14 gauge wire, you would need to change the breaker to 15 Amp if you did that. Using 14 gauge wire on a 20 amp circuit is a fire hazard and contrary to UBC. Contact your local building and zoning department to verify.
What gauge of wire do i need for my 220 volt 100 amp breaker?
For a 220 volt 100 amp breaker, you would typically need a wire gauge of 2/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge) or larger. It is recommended to consult with a professional electrician to ensure the proper gauge is used for your specific installation.

What size main breaker do you need to run 10 gauge wire?
The size of the main breaker depends on the maximum current rating of the 10 gauge wire and the load it will be powering. Typically, a 10 gauge wire is rated for a maximum current of 30 amps. Therefore, a 30 amp main breaker would be suitable for running 10 gauge wire. However, it is important to consult local electrical codes and consider the specific load requirements before making a final determination.
