Two charges are placed a certain distance apart in air. When a dielectric sheet is placed between them, the electrostatic force between them will?

Everyday Science / Physics — Multiple-choice practice

ہوا میں دو چارجز کو ایک خاص فاصلے پر رکھا جاتا ہے۔ جب ان کے درمیان ایک ڈائی الیکٹرک شیٹ رکھی جاتی ہے، تو ان کے درمیان الیکٹرو اسٹاٹک قوت ہوگی؟

  1. A. Remain unchanged
  2. B. Become zero
  3. C. Increase
  4. D. Decrease

Correct answer

Decrease

Explanation

Explanation When a dielectric sheet is placed between two charges, the electrostatic force between them will " decrease " because the presence of the dielectric reduces the electric field strength between the charges, thus decreasing the force experienced by them.
