The forces of gravity between two objects are inversely proportional to
the square of the distance between them.  So reducing the distance
by 1/2 means increasing the gravitational force by 2² = 4 times. 
The 1 million newtons becomes 4 million newtons.

Note that this does NOT mean the satellite's altitude above the surface.
When you're calculating gravitational forces, it's the distance between
the centers of the objects.  So the question is a meaningful exercise
only if we use the distance between the satellite and the planet's center.

How is the direction of current defined by convention
ddd [48]

Answer: The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.
