Answer: Conduction occurs more readily in solids and liquids, where the particles are closer to together, than in gases, where particles are further apart.
Answer:

Explanation:
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged objects is

where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges
The force is attractive if the charges have opposite sign and repulsive if the charges have same sign.
In this problem, we have:
is the distance between the charges
since the charges are identical
is the force between the charges
Re-arranging the equation and solving for q, we find the charge on each drop:

Answer: 4.5 V
Explanation:
Given
The voltage of each cell is 1.5 V
If they are connected end to end their potential added to give a higher potential i.e. 1.5+1.5+1.5=4.5 V
