The force of repulsion between two identical positive charges when kept with a separation $r$ in air is $F$. Half the gap between the two charges is filled by a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K=4$. Then the new force of repulsion between those two charges becomes:

  • A
    $F/3$
  • B
    $F/2$
  • C
    $F/4$
  • D
    $4F/9$
