MCQ
The constant k in Coulomb's law depends upon:
  • A
    Nature of medium
  • B
    System of units
  • C
    Intensity of charge
  • D
    Both (a) and (b)

Answer

  1. Nature of medium

Explanation:

The value of $\text{K}=\frac{1}{4\pi\in_0}=8.854\times10^{-12}\text{C}^2\text{N}^{-1}\text{m}^{-2}$

Where ε0​ is permittivity of free space.
