MCQ
The electrostatic force between two point charges $q _1$ and $q _2$ at separation ' r ' is given by $F =\frac{ K _{ q q^2}}{ r ^2}$. The constant $K$ :
  • A
    Depends on the system of units only.
  • B
    Depends on the medium between the charges only.
  • Depends on both the system of units and the medium between the charges.
  • D
    Is independent of both the system of units and the medium between the charges.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Depends on both the system of units and the medium between the charges.
c. Depends on both the system of units and the medium between the charges.
Explanation:
$K =\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{ o } k }$ and its units is $N - m ^2 / C ^2$
It depend on system of unit and dielectric constant (k), that's medium between charges
