Two equal charges exert equal forces on each other What if one charge has twice the magnitude of the other?

Whatever be the magnitude of charge, two charges will always exert equal force on each other. As force depends on the product of magnitude of charges, it will increase if magnitude is doubled but will remain same for both the charges.

Each force in an action-reaction pair of forces is equal in what?
In magnitude.
What is the magnitude of the resultant force when forces of magnitude are combined?
-- When forces of unequal magnitude are added, the magnitude of the sum can be anything between the difference and sum of the individual magnitudes, depending on the angle between them. -- When forces of equal magnitude are added, the magnitude of the sum can be anything between zero and double the individual magnitudes, depending on the angle between them.
When two bodies interact the forces on the bodies are equal in magnitude and -------- in direction?
opposite
Are 2 forces going in the same direction balanced?
No, they are not. The forces are balanced only when forces of equal magnitude are acting in the opposite direction.
Why don't two forces balance each other?
Two forces do balance each other out, as long as the two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
What is a good comparison of the charges of an electron and the charges of a proton?
They are equal in magnitude but opposite in charge.
The electric charge of a photon is how many times stronger the charge of an electron?
The electric charges of the proton and electron are equal in magnitude (size, strength), and opposite in sign.
What the magnitude of resultant vector of two equal forces each of magnitude F is?
the resultant magnitude is 2 times the magnitude of F as the two forces are equal, Resultant R= F + F = 2F and the magnitude of 2F is 2F.
How does the electric charge on the proton compare with the electric charge on the electron?
They are equal in magnitude but opposite in charge.
What is a good comparison of the charge of and the charge of a proton?
They are equal in magnitude but opposite in charge.
What is a good comparison of the charge of an electron and charge of a proton?
They are equal in magnitude but opposite in charge.
How can atoms be neutral if they have charged particles?
because in their neutral state the number of positive particles is equal to the number of negative particles and the magnitude of a single positive charge is the same as the magnitude of a single negative charge in short the positive and negative charges cancel each other out
What do electrons have that protons always have in equal magnitude?
Charge
Is electrical charge a subatomic particle?
It is a property, like mass. Not a particle. The electron and proton charges are considered to be the reference charges (-e and +e).
Are the charges of protons and electrons opposite and equal?
Yes, a proton is a subatomic particle that carries a charge equal to but opposite to that of an electron. The proton has a positive charge, and the electron has a negative charge.
