Answer:

The magnitude of the external electric field at P will reduce to 2.26 x 10⁶ N/C, but the direction is still to the right.

Explanation:

From coulomb's law, F = Eq

Thus,

F = E₁q₁

F = E₂q₂

Then

E₂q₂ = E₁q₁

E_2 = \frac{E_1q_1}{q_2}

where;

E₂ is the external electric field due to second test charge = ?

E₁ is the external electric field due to first test charge = 4 x 10⁶ N/C

q₁ is the first test charge = 13 mC

q₂ is the second test charge = 23 mC

Substitute in these values in the equation above and calculate E₂.

E_2 = \frac{4*10^6*13}{23} = 2.26 *10^6 \ N/C

The magnitude of the external electric field at P will reduce to 2.26 x 10⁶ N/C when 13 mC test charge is replaced with another test charge of 23 mC.

However, the direction of the external field is still to the right.

netineya [11]

Answer:

Magnesium and Bromine

Explanation:

I just took the test, and Magnesium has 7 electrons and Bromine has 2 valance electrons making the transfer a lot easier. In the first choice, Krypton already has 8 valance electrons therefore it cannot transfer or accept any more which rules it out as a possible answer. Calcium has 2 valance electrons and Potassium has 1 meaning it couldn't make a full shell of 8 and cannot make a ionic bond. Iodine has 7 electrons as well as Chlorine which wouldn't be the answer because it would have more than 8 valance electrons.
