Question:medium

The electrostatic force between two charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ separated by a distance $r$ in vacuum is $F$. If a dielectric medium of dielectric constant $K$ is introduced between them, the new force is

Show Hint

Remember that introducing a dielectric medium with dielectric constant \( K \) reduces the electrostatic force by a factor of \( K \).
