When air is replaced by a dielectric medium of constant K, the maximum force separated by a distance

A

increases K times

B

remains unchanged

C

decreases K times

D

increases `K^(-1)` times

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
AS `F_(m) = (F_(0))/(K)`
`therefore` the maximum force decreases by K times.
