When air is replaced by a dielectric medium of constant K, the maximum force of attraction between two charges separated by a distance:

A

Decreases k times

B

Remains unchanged

C

Increases k times

D

Increases `k^(-1)` times

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B
(ad) Force in medium `(F_m) = ("Force in free space")/k`
where `F prop 1/(kdarr) , F prop k^(-1) (uarr ed)`
