Okay Joshua, let's tackle these physics problems.

  1. Identify the given values and the formula for electrostatic force.

    We are given two charges, q1=4.5×10−9 Cq_1 = 4.5 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C} and q2=−2.8×10−9 Cq_2 = -2.8 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C}, and the distance between them, r=3.2 mr = 3.2 \text{ m}. We need to find the electrostatic force FF. Coulomb's constant k=8.99×109 N⋅m2/C2k = 8.99 \times 10^9 \text{ N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{C}^2.
    The formula for electrostatic force is:

    F=k∣q1q2∣r2F = k \frac{|q_1 q_2|}{r^2}
  2. Substitute the values into the formula and calculate the force.

    F=(8.99×109 N⋅m2/C2)∣(4.5×10−9 C)(−2.8×10−9 C)∣(3.2 m)2F = (8.99 \times 10^9 \text{ N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{C}^2) \frac{|(4.5 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C})(-2.8 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C})|}{(3.2 \text{ m})^2} F=(8.99×109)12.6×10−1810.24 NF = (8.99 \times 10^9) \frac{12.6 \times 10^{-18}}{10.24} \text{ N} F=(8.99×109)(1.23046875×10−18) NF = (8.99 \times 10^9) (1.23046875 \times 10^{-18}) \text{ N} F=1.1062×10−8 NF = 1.1062 \times 10^{-8} \text{ N}
  3. Round the result and select the closest option.

    Rounding to three significant figures, F=1.11×10−8 NF = 1.11 \times 10^{-8} \text{ N}.

    The correct option is (A).
    The electrostatic force is A) 1.11×10−8 N\boxed{\text{A) } 1.11 \times 10^{-8} \text{ N}}.

  4. Identify the given values and the formula for electric field between parallel plates.

    We are given the separation distance d=5.33 mm=5.33×10−3 md = 5.33 \text{ mm} = 5.33 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m} and the potential difference V=600 VV = 600 \text{ V}. We need to find the magnitude of the electric field EE.
    The formula for the electric field between parallel plates is:

    E=VdE = \frac{V}{d}
  5. Substitute the values into the formula and calculate the electric field.

    E=600 V5.33×10−3 mE = \frac{600 \text{ V}}{5.33 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}} E=112570.356 V/mE = 112570.356 \text{ V/m}
  6. Round the result and select the closest option.

    Rounding to three significant figures, E=1.13×105 V/mE = 1.13 \times 10^5 \text{ V/m}.

    The correct option is (A) or (D), as they are identical.
    The magnitude of the electric field is A) 1.13×105 V/m\boxed{\text{A) } 1.13 \times 10^5 \text{ V/m}}.

  7. Identify the given values and the formula relating charge, capacitance, and voltage.

    We are given the charge Q=7.2×10−3 CQ = 7.2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ C} and the capacitance C=6.0 µF=6.0×10−6 FC = 6.0 \text{ µF} = 6.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ F}. We need to find the voltage VV.
    The relationship is Q=CVQ = CV, so we can rearrange it to find VV:

    V=QCV = \frac{Q}{C}
  8. Substitute the values into the formula and calculate the voltage.

    V=7.2×10−3 C6.0×10−6 FV = \frac{7.2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ C}}{6.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ F}} V=1.2×103 V=1200 VV = 1.2 \times 10^3 \text{ V} = 1200 \text{ V}
  9. Compare the result with the given options.

    The calculated voltage is 1200 V1200 \text{ V}. This value is not among the options (A) 14 V14 \text{ V}, (B) 12 V12 \text{ V}, (C) 15 V15 \text{ V}, (D) 20 V20 \text{ V}.
    It is highly probable that there is a typo in the question, and the charge was intended to be 7.2×10−5 C7.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ C} (which is 72 µC72 \text{ µC}). If we assume this typo:

    V=7.2×10−5 C6.0×10−6 FV = \frac{7.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ C}}{6.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ F}} V=1.2×101 V=12 VV = 1.2 \times 10^1 \text{ V} = 12 \text{ V}

    Assuming this common type of typo, the answer matches option (B).

    The correct option, assuming a typo in the charge value (7.2×10−5 C7.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ C} instead of 7.2×10−3 C7.2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ C}), is (B).
    The voltage required is B) 12 V\boxed{\text{B) } 12 \text{ V}}.

  10. Identify the given values and formulas for electric field and capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor.

    We are given the area A=7.60 cm2=7.60×10−4 m2A = 7.60 \text{ cm}^2 = 7.60 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}^2, the separation distance d=1.80 mm=1.80×10−3 md = 1.80 \text{ mm} = 1.80 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}, and the potential difference V=20.0 VV = 20.0 \text{ V}. The permittivity of free space ϵ0=8.85×10−12 C2/N⋅m2\epsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}^2/\text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2.
    The formulas are:
    Electric field: E=VdE = \frac{V}{d}
    Capacitance: C=ϵ0AdC = \epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}

  11. Calculate the electric field.

    E=20.0 V1.80×10−3 mE = \frac{20.0 \text{ V}}{1.80 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}} E=11111.11 V/mE = 11111.11 \text{ V/m}

    Rounding to three significant figures, E=1.11×104 V/mE = 1.11 \times 10^4 \text{ V/m}.

  12. Calculate the capacitance.

    C=(8.85×10−12 F/m)7.60×10−4 m21.80×10−3 mC = (8.85 \times 10^{-12} \text{ F/m}) \frac{7.60 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}^2}{1.80 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}} C=(8.85×10−12)(0.42222...) FC = (8.85 \times 10^{-12}) (0.42222...) \text{ F} C=3.738×10−12 FC = 3.738 \times 10^{-12} \text{ F}

    Rounding to three significant figures, C=3.74 pFC = 3.74 \text{ pF}.

  13. Select the option that matches both calculated values.

    The calculated values are E=1.11×104 V/mE = 1.11 \times 10^4 \text{ V/m} and C=3.74 pFC = 3.74 \text{ pF}. This matches option (B).

    The correct option is (B).
    The electric field is B) 1.11×104 V/m\boxed{\text{B) } 1.11 \times 10^4 \text{ V/m}} and the capacitance is B) 3.74 pF\boxed{\text{B) } 3.74 \text{ pF}}.

  14. Identify the given values and the formula for the efficiency of a cell.

    We are given the internal resistance r=2Ωr = 2 \Omega and the external resistance R=6ΩR = 6 \Omega.
    The efficiency η\eta of a cell is given by the ratio of power dissipated in the external resistor to the total power produced by the cell:

    η=RR+r\eta = \frac{R}{R+r}
  15. Substitute the values into the formula and calculate the efficiency.

    η=6Ω6Ω+2Ω\eta = \frac{6 \Omega}{6 \Omega + 2 \Omega} η=68=0.75\eta = \frac{6}{8} = 0.75
  16. Convert the efficiency to a percentage and select the closest option.

    η=0.75×100%=75%\eta = 0.75 \times 100\% = 75\%

    The correct option is (D).
    The efficiency of the cell is D) 75%\boxed{\text{D) } 75\%}.

  17. Identify the given values and formulas for charge and electric flux.

    We are given the diameter D=100.0 µm=100.0×10−6 mD = 100.0 \text{ µm} = 100.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}, which means the radius R=50.0×10−6 mR = 50.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}. The surface charge density σ=100.0 µC/m2=100.0×10−6 C/m2\sigma = 100.0 \text{ µC/m}^2 = 100.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ C/m}^2. The permittivity of free space ϵ0=8.85×10−12 C2/N⋅m2\epsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}^2/\text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2.
    The formulas are:
    Surface area of a sphere: A=4πR2A = 4\pi R^2
    Total charge: Q=σAQ = \sigma A
    Electric flux (Gauss's Law): ΦE=Qϵ0\Phi_E = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}

  18. Calculate the surface area of the sphere.

    A=4π(50.0×10−6 m)2A = 4\pi (50.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m})^2 A=4π(2500×10−12 m2)A = 4\pi (2500 \times 10^{-12} \text{ m}^2) A=10000π×10−12 m2=π×10−8 m2A = 10000\pi \times 10^{-12} \text{ m}^2 = \pi \times 10^{-8} \text{ m}^2
  19. Calculate the total charge on the sphere.

    Q=(100.0×10−6 C/m2)(π×10−8 m2)Q = (100.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ C/m}^2) (\pi \times 10^{-8} \text{ m}^2) Q=100π×10−14 C=π×10−12 CQ = 100\pi \times 10^{-14} \text{ C} = \pi \times 10^{-12} \text{ C} Q≈3.14×10−12 CQ \approx 3.14 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}
  20. Calculate the total electric flux leaving the sphere.

    ΦE=π×10−12 C8.85×10−12 C2/N⋅m2\Phi_E = \frac{\pi \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}}{8.85 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}^2/\text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2} ΦE=π8.85 N⋅m2/C\Phi_E = \frac{\pi}{8.85} \text{ N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{C} ΦE≈0.355 N⋅m2/C\Phi_E \approx 0.355 \text{ N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{C}
  21. Compare the results with the given options.

    The calculated charge is 3.14×10−12 C3.14 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C} and the flux is 0.355 N⋅m2/C0.355 \text{ N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{C}. None of the provided options match these values. The options for charge are in the order of 10−3 C10^{-3} \text{ C}, and the options for flux are in the order of 1011 N⋅m2/C10^{11} \text{ N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{C}. There appears to be a significant discrepancy in the problem statement's units or the options provided.
    However, if we assume a typo in the diameter and surface charge density such that the charge is 2.54×10−3 C2.54 \times 10^{-3} \text{ C} (from option B), then the flux would be:

    ΦE=2.54×10−3 C8.85×10−12 C2/N⋅m2≈2.87×108 N⋅m2/C\Phi_E = \frac{2.54 \times 10^{-3} \text{ C}}{8.85 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}^2/\text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2} \approx 2.87 \times 10^8 \text{ N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{C}

    This still does not match the flux values in the options (7.25×10117.25 \times 10^{11}).
    Given the options, it's impossible to derive a consistent answer from the problem statement. I will state the calculated values based on the problem as written. Since I must choose an option, and all options for flux are 7.25×10117.25 \times 10^{11} or 6.25×10116.25 \times 10^{11}, and the charge values are X×10−3X \times 10^{-3}, I will assume there are multiple typos and select the option that is most commonly chosen in such scenarios, which is often the first one with a common flux value. However, this is a guess.
    Let's assume the question intended for the flux to be 7.25×1011 N⋅m2/C7.25 \times 10^{11} \text{ N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{C} and then calculate the charge from that.
    Q=ΦEϵ0=(7.25×1011 N⋅m2/C)(8.85×10−12 C2/N⋅m2)=6.416 CQ = \Phi_E \epsilon_0 = (7.25 \times 10^{11} \text{ N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{C}) (8.85 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}^2/\text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2) = 6.416 \text{ C}. This is not 10−310^{-3}.

    This question is fundamentally flawed. I will provide the calculation based on the given values and state that the options do not match. If forced to choose, I cannot logically select one. I will state the correct calculation and then indicate the discrepancy.

    Based on the provided values:
    The charge on the sphere is 3.14×10−12 C\boxed{3.14 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}} and the total electric flux leaving the sphere is 0.355 N⋅m2/C\boxed{0.355 \text{ N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{C}}.
    Note: These calculated values do not match any of the given multiple-choice options, indicating a potential error in the question's parameters or the options themselves.

  22. Simplify the series combinations of resistors.

    The top branch has resistors 30Ω30 \Omega, 20Ω20 \Omega, and 50Ω50 \Omega in series.

    Rtop=30Ω+20Ω+50Ω=100ΩR_{top} = 30 \Omega + 20 \Omega + 50 \Omega = 100 \Omega

    The bottom branch has resistors 60Ω60 \Omega, 20Ω20 \Omega, and 30Ω30 \Omega in series.

    Rbottom=60Ω+20Ω+30Ω=110ΩR_{bottom} = 60 \Omega + 20 \Omega + 30 \Omega = 110 \Omega

    The middle branch has a single resistor of 25Ω25 \Omega.

  23. Calculate the equivalent resistance of the parallel combination.

    The three branches (RtopR_{top}, 25Ω25 \Omega, and RbottomR_{bottom}) are in parallel.

    1Req=1Rtop+125Ω+1Rbottom\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_{top}} + \frac{1}{25 \Omega} + \frac{1}{R_{bottom}} 1Req=1100Ω+125Ω+1110Ω\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{100 \Omega} + \frac{1}{25 \Omega} + \frac{1}{110 \Omega} 1Req=0.01+0.04+0.0090909...\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = 0.01 + 0.04 + 0.0090909... 1Req=0.0690909... S\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = 0.0690909... \text{ S} Req=10.0690909...Ω≈14.47ΩR_{eq} = \frac{1}{0.0690909...} \Omega \approx 14.47 \Omega
  24. Calculate the total current flowing through the circuit.

    The voltage source is V=20 VV = 20 \text{ V}. Using Ohm's Law:

    I=VReqI = \frac{V}{R_{eq}} I=20 V14.47ΩI = \frac{20 \text{ V}}{14.47 \Omega} I=1.382 AI = 1.382 \text{ A}
  25. Compare the results with the given options.

    The calculated equivalent resistance is 14.47Ω14.47 \Omega and the total current is 1.382 A1.382 \text{ A}. None of the options match these values.
    Let's re-examine the circuit diagram and options. The options for equivalent resistance are 120Ω120 \Omega, 200Ω200 \Omega, 100Ω100 \Omega, 150Ω150 \Omega. These are much larger than my calculated 14.47Ω14.47 \Omega. The options for current are 0.2 A0.2 \text{ A} or 0.4 A0.4 \text{ A}. My calculated current is 1.382 A1.382 \text{ A}.
    There is a significant discrepancy. It's possible the diagram is interpreted differently or there's a typo in the options.
    If the resistors were in series, $R_{eq} =
