Answer:
The magnitude of the net force is √2F.
Explanation:
Since the two particles have the same charge Q, they exert the same force on the test charge; both attractive or repulsive. So, the angle between the two forces is 90° in any case. Now, as we know the magnitude of these forces and that they form a 90° angle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the magnitude of the resultant net force:
Then, it means that the net force acting on the test charge has a magnitude of √2F.
The equation Q=CV (Charge = product of Capacitance and potential difference) tells us that the maximum charge that can be stored on a capacitor is equal to the product of it's capacitance and the potential difference across it. In this case the potential difference across the capacitor will be 12.0V (assuming circuit resistance is negligable) and it has a capacitance of 18.0μf or 18.0x10^-6f, therefore charge equals (18.0x10^-6)x12=2.16x10^-4C (Coulombs).
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. One advantage of using electromagnets in devices would be that electromagnets can <span>easily be turned on and off. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
