An electron of mass , initially at rest, moves through a certain distance in an uniform electric field in time . A proton of mass , also, initially at rest, takes time to move through an equal distance in this uniform electric field. Neglecting the effect of gravity, the ratio is nearly equal to

EASY
Guess a possible reason why water has a much greater dielectric constant than say, mica

MEDIUM
Assertion: If a conducting medium is placed between two charges, then the electric force between them becomes zero.
Reason: Reduction in a force due to introduced conductor is proportional to its dielectric constant.

EASY
The dielectric constant of a metal is

HARD
Two charges are placed a certain distance apart. A metallic sheet is placed between them. What will happen to the force between the charges ?

EASY
Assertion: For a system of two point charges, the ratio of the magnitude of electrostatic force experienced by each charge depends upon the medium between the point charges.
Reason: The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point charges and separated by a distance is , if the charges are placed in a medium of dielectric constant .
