MCQ
The electrostatic force between two point charges q1​ and q2​ at separation 'r' is given by $\text{F}=\frac{\text{K}_\text{q1q2}}{\text{r}^2}.$​​ The constant K:
  • A
    Depends on the system of units only.
  • B
    Depends on the medium between the charges only.
  • C
    Depends on both the system of units and the medium between the charges.
  • D
    Is independent of both the system of units and the medium between the charges.

Answer

  1. Depends on both the system of units and the medium between the charges.

Explanation:

$\text{K}=\frac{1}{4\pi\in_\circ\text{k}}$ and its units is N−m2/ C2

It depend on system of unit and dielectric constant (k), that's medium between charges
