CASE STUDY BASED:

Q16. Coulomb’s law states that the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion acting between two stationary point
1 q1q2
charges is given by F =
4πε0 r 2

Where F denotes the force between two charges q1 and q2 separated by a distance r in free space, ε0 is a
constant known as permittivity of free space. Free space is vacuum and may be taken to be air practically.
If free space is replaced by a medium, then ε0 is replaced by (ε0k) or (ε0εr) where k is known as dielectric
constant or relative permittivity. [5]
