Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 2516 F

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Force between the two charges when it is placed in vacuum and distance between them is r is F=14πε0q1q2r2. Now, the force when a dielectric k is inserted between these two charges is F=14πε0q1q2kr'2. On comparing the dielectric force with the vacuum force we…
