1. Electric Charges and Fields
easy
When air is replaced by a dielectric medium of constant $k$, the maximum force of attraction between two charges separated by a distance
A
become ${k^{ - 1}}$ times
B
Remains unchanged
C
Increases $k$ times
D
become ${k}$ times
(AIPMT-1999)
Solution
(a) $F' = \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}\frac{{{q_1}{q_2}}}{{{r^2}}} = \frac{F}{K}$
If $F$ is the force in air, then $F'$ is less than $F$ since $K > 1$.
