Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(d \sqrt{ k }\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F =\frac{1}{\left(4 \pi \varepsilon_0\right)} \frac{ q _1 q _2}{ kd ^2}(\text { in medium })\)

\(F _{\text {Air }}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{ q _1 q _2}{ d ^{\prime 2}}\)

\(F = F _{ Air }\)

\(\frac{ q _1 q _2}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 kd ^2}=\frac{ q _1 q _2}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 d ^{\prime 2}}\)

\(d ^{\prime}= d \sqrt{ k }\)
