Electric Charges and Fields

Question:

If the medium between the charges changes, will it affect the electrostatic force acting between them?

Options:

No, because the distance and magnitude remain the same.

Yes, because force varies in different media.

No, because the magnitude of the charges still remains the same.

None of the above.

Correct Answer:

Yes, because force varies in different media.

Explanation:

Each media has its own different dielectric constant which is why the force is in each media will be different.
