Two charged spheres separated by a distance ' d ' exert some force on each other. If they are immersed in a liquid of dielectric constant 2 , then what is the force exerted, if all other conditions are same?
Options
- AF / 2
- BF
- C2 F
- D4 F
Correct answer
A. F / 2
Step-by-step solution
Given: Distance between two charges =d and dielectric constant (k)=2 . Force between two charged spheres (F)= 1 4 ₀ q₁ q₂ r₂ , where ₀ is permitivity of free space. Force for a medium with dielectric constant k , F^ = 1 k 1 4 ₀ q₁ q₂ r^2 = F k = F 2
