When air is replaced by a dielectric medium of force constant K, the maximum force of attraction between two charges, separated by a distance
-
- decreases K-times
- increases K-times
- remains unchanged
-
becomes 1 times K2
Correct Option: A
In air, Fair = | . | |||
4πε0 | r2 |
In medium, Fm = | . | |||
4πε0 | Kr2 |
∴ | = | ⇒ Fm = | (decreases K-times) | |||
Fair | K | K |
