Two point charges placed in air separated by distance $R$ exert a force $F$ on each other. Now the space between those charges is filled with a medium of dielectric constant $K$. At distance $R_1$ between the charges, the same force is exerted as $F$. Then:

  • A
    $R_1 = \sqrt{K}R$
  • B
    $R_1 = R$
  • C
    $R_1 = \frac{R}{K}$
  • D
    $R_1 = \frac{R}{\sqrt{K}}$
