The force between two charges in vacuum is F. If a medium of dielectric constant 5 is introduced, force becomes

A. 25F

B. F/25

C. 5F

D. F/5

Answer: Option D

Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)

Coulomb's law in medium: F' = F/K, where K = dielectric constant. So F' = F/5. Permittivity of medium ε = Kε₀. Force decreases in medium.

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:
Using the second equation of motion for free fall: h = ut + ½gt². Since it is dropped, initial velocity (u) = 0. Time (t) = 4s, g = 10 m/s². The height h = 0 + ½(10)(4)² = 5 × 16 = 80 meters.
