JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 1. Electric charges and fields

Force between two point charges \(q_1\) and \(q_2\) placed in vacuum at ' \(r\) ' \(\mathrm{cm}\) apart is \(F\). Force between them when placed in a medium having dielectric \(\mathrm{K}=5\) at ' \(\mathrm{r} / 5\) ' \(\mathrm{cm}\) apart will be _______.

  1. A \(F / 25\)
  2. B \(5 \mathrm{~F}\)
  3. C \(F / 5\)
  4. D \(25 \mathrm{~F}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5 \mathrm{~F}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In air \(F=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1 q_2}{r_2}\) In medium \(F^{\prime}=\frac{1}{4 \pi\left(K \epsilon_0\right)} \frac{q_1 q_2}{\left(r^{\prime}\right)^2}=\frac{25}{4 \pi\left(5 \epsilon_0\right)} \frac{q_1 q_2}{(r)^2}=5 F\)
