Charlotte built a simple electromagnet, shown below. She found that the electromagnet picked up the entire pile of paper clips the instant she turned it on. Which of the following might allow Charlotte’s electromagnet to pick up a single paper clip at a time?

c) up is the direction the magnetic force is acting on the charge.

it is given that trillions of microbes make up to 1% to 3% of the body mass.

let's take average of this percentage: 2%

consider the average mass of the human body as 70 kg.

then, trillions of microbes would have mass  

therefore, 100 trillion micro-organisms would weigh:

this is an approximate value and could change depending on the mass of the human body and percentage of the microbes present in it.

average mass per microorganism =
