The force between two point charges placed in a material medium of dielectric constant \(K\) is \(F\). If the material is removed, then the force between them becomes _________.

  1. A \(F \sqrt{ K }\)
  2. B FK
  3. C \(\frac{F}{\sqrt{K}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{ F }{ K }\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) FK

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(B)
\(\begin{array}{l} F _{\text {medium }}=\frac{ F _{\text {air }}}{ K } \\ \text { But } F _{\text {medium }}= F \\ \therefore F =\frac{ F _{\text {air }}}{ K } \therefore F _{\text {air }}= FK \end{array}\)
