Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

Maglev trains are called as such, since they are derived from "magnetic levitation". The force that makes them run along their tracks is through attraction and repulsion forces brought about by the magnets.

Answer:

1681714.28571 N/C

Yes it could exist

Explanation:

m = Mass of housefly = 12 m

q = Charge = 70 pC

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

E = Electric field

When an object accumulates charge it means that it is gaining electrons making it negatively charged. This is the concept of static electricity.

Here, the electric force and the graviational force will balance each other

$F_e=W\\\Rightarrow qE=mg\\\Rightarrow E=\frac{mg}{q}\\\Rightarrow E=\frac{12\times 10^{-6}\times 9.81}{70\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow E=1681714.28571\ N/C$

1681714.28571 N/C of electric field would be required to levitate

The direction of the electric field would be upwards vertically.

In air the critical value of electric field is $3\times 10^6\ N/C$ which is more than the critical value of electric field in air. So, the electric field can exist.
