At what angle would a current carrying wire have to be aligned with a magnetic field so that the force was ‘zero’? a. 143 degrees b. 180 degrees c. 87 degrees d. 2 degrees

Answer(a)   the matererials that are in contact, the two materials and the nature of their surfaces/// (b)/// the force pushing the two surfaces together, pushing the surfaces together causes the more of the asperities to come together and increases the surface area in contact with each other

The answer is 4f======since electrostatic force is given by    we let f be the electrostatic force when  r = 1 m    if we let  denote the electrostatic force when the distance is decreased so that r = 0.5m, then    we established earlier that f = kq₁q₂. therefore    the force will now be 4f.
