Lightning is an electric current. Within a thundercloud way up in the sky, many small bits of ice (frozen raindrops) bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of those collisions create an electric charge. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charger

P_1=+3D
P_2=-2D

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow P=P_1+P_2$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow P=+3D-2D=+1D$

Now

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{P}$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{1}$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow f=1m$

5. Each of five satellites makes a circular orbit about an object that is much more massive than any of the satellites. The mass

Vikentia [17]

The options of the question are missing. I have attached it.

Answer:

Satellite in option B will have the greatest speed.

Explanation:

From kepplers third law, we know that

V² = GM/R

Thus, v = √(GM/R)

Where;

v is velocity

G is gravitational constant

M is mass

R is radius

Looking at the options, let's start from the first one;

Option A

Here, mass = (1/2)m and radius = R

So, v = √(GM/R) thus v = √(G(m/2)/R) = √(Gm/2R)

Option B

Here, mass = m and radius = (1/2)R

Thus v = √(Gm/(R/2)) = √(2Gm/R)

Option C

Here, mass = m and radius = R

Thus v = √(Gm/R)

Option D

Here, mass = m and radius = 2R

Thus v = √(Gm/(2R))

Now, inspecting all the options, it's clear that option B will have the greatest velocity because it's numerator is the biggest and will in turn lead to higher velocity.
