Question

When medium is introduced between two charges then electrostatic force increases or decreases

Answer 1

Answer:

The presence of medium decreases the electrostatic forces between charges

Explanation:

We know, that in between the charges there is electrostatic force .

The nature of this force can be attractive or repulsive and more or less .

It depends upon certain factors like -

Depending upon nature of charges :

If the charges are same : It is repulsive

If the charges are different : It is attractive .

Depending upon the distance between them :

If close :electrostatic force magnitude  is high .

If far : Electrostatic force magnitude  is less

Depending upon medium present or not :

If medium present : It decreases

If medium not present : It increases because there is no obstacle between them .
