Question:medium

Force between two point charges \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) placed in vacuum at a distance \( r \, \text{cm} \) apart is \( F \). Force between them when placed in a medium having dielectric \( K = 5 \) at \( r/5 \, \text{cm} \) apart will be:

Show Hint

When charges are placed in a medium, always account for the dielectric constant \( K \) and any change in the distance between the charges. Both factors influence the resultant force.
  • \( F / 25 \)
  • \( 5F \)
  • \( F / 5 \)
  • \( 25F \)
