Two point charges placed at a distance r


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 363 People


Two point charges placed at a certain distance r in air exert a force F on each other. Then the distance R at which these charges will exert the same force in a medium of dielectric constant K is given

Answered by admin @



F (air) = (1/4 pi eo) [qQ/r^2] 

F(medium) = (1/4 pi eo*k) [qQ/R^2] 
==================== 
given> F(medium) = F(air) 
(1/4 pi eo*k) [qQ/R^2] = (1/4 pi eo) [qQ/r^2] 
(1/k) [1/R^2] = [1/r^2] 
kR^2 = r^2 
R^2 = r^2/k 
R = r/ [rootk]
