The force of attraction between two charges separated by a distance in the air medium is F. If the medium air is replaced by a dielectric medium of dielectric constant K, the force of attraction between the charges will become |
$K F$ $F K^{-1}$ $F K^2$ $F$ |
$F K^{-1}$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $F K^{-1}$ Coulomb's law in a medium of dielectric constant $K$: $F_\text{medium} = \frac{F_\text{air}}{K}$ Where $F_\text{air} = F$ is the force in air. Thus, the force in the dielectric medium: $F' = \frac{F}{K}$ Final Answer: $F' = \frac{F}{K}$ |
