A slab of dielectric is introduced between two equal positive charges with a fixed separation. As a result,

A

the force between two charges decreases

B

the two charges start attracting each other

C

the slab starts moving

D

an electric current passes from one charges to the other

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The forces between two charges decreases because the introduction of dielectric medium reduces the permittivity of charges.
