Answer:

Explanation:
The magnitude of the net force exerted on q is known, we have the values and positions for
and q. So, making use of coulomb's law, we can calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by
on q. Then we can know the magnitude of the force exerted by
about q, finally this will allow us to know the magnitude of 
exerts a force on q in +y direction, and
exerts a force on q in -y direction.

The net force on q is:

Answer:
I'm pretty sure the answer is runoff
Answer:
a)Q=71.4 μ C
b)ΔV' = 10.2 V
Explanation:
Given that
C ₁= 8.7 μF
C₂ = 8.2 μF
C₃ = 4.1 μF
The potential difference of the battery, ΔV= 34 V
When connected in series
1/C = 1/C ₁ + 1/C₂ + 1/C₃
1/ C= 1/8.4 +1 / 8.4 + 1/4.2
C=2.1 μF
As we know that when capacitor are connected in series then they have same charge,Q
Q= C ΔV
Q= 2.1 x 34 μ C
Q=71.4 μ C
b)
As we know that when capacitor are connected in parallel then they have same voltage difference.
Q'= C' ΔV'
C'= C ₁+C₂+C₃ (For parallel connection)
C'= 8.4 + 8.4 + 4.2 μF
C'=21 μF
Q'= C' ΔV'
Q'=3 Q
3 x 71.4= 21 ΔV'
ΔV' = 10.2 V
That would be a maximum of 4 atoms
