1. Electric Charges and Fields
normal
Two point charges placed at a distance $r$ in air experience a certain force. Then the distance at which they will experience the same force in a medium of dielectric constant $K$ is
A
$\frac{r}{K}$
B
$Kr$
C
$\frac{r}{\sqrt K}$
D
$r \sqrt K$
Solution
$\frac{{{q_1}{q_2}}}{{{r^{2}}}}\, = \,\frac{{{q_1}{q_2}}}{{K{r^{'2}}}}$ or $Kr^{'2} \,\,=\,\,r^2$ or $r'\, = \,\frac{r}{{\sqrt K }}$
