FORCE, DIELECTRIC CONSTANT (HW)

1. Consider 3 charged bodies P, Q and R. If P and Q repel each other and P attracts R.
What is the nature of force between Q and R
2. What is the nature of force between two point charges q1 and q2 kept at some
distance in air if a) qiq2 > 0 b) q1q2 < 0
3. What is the force of repulsion between two point charges of 1C each , kept 1m apart
in vacuum
4. In a medium, force of attraction between two point charges at distance d apart is F.
What distance apart , they should be kept, so that the force is 3F
5. The force between two point charges in air is F. What is the force between them, if
kept in a medium of dielectric constant 2
6. The force between two point charges in air is 1000N. What is the dielectric constant
of the medium, if the force reduces to 200N, when kept in the medium?
7. The force between two point charges is 80N. What is the force, if the charges are
kept in a medium of dielectric constant 10 ?
8. The force between two point charges in a medium of dielectric constant 5 is 300N.
What is the force between them , if they are kept in air?
9. What is the permittivity of a medium, whose dielectric constant is 7
10. What happens to the force between the charges, if magnitudes of the charges are
halved and distance between them is doubled?
