AP Physics C: E&M
8.1 Electric Charge and Electric Force
Two fixed point charges separated by a distance \(r\) in a vacuum exert an electrostatic force of magnitude \(F_0\) on each other. The charges are then placed in a uniform insulating fluid with a dielectric constant \(\kappa = 3\), and the distance between them is reduced to \(\dfrac{r}{2}\). What is the new magnitude of the electrostatic force between the two charges?
