APFIVE Electric Field in a Dielectric Medium
Consider two identical point charges, q₁ and q₂. Charge q₁ is located in a medium with permittivity ε₁ = 2ε₀, and charge q₂ is in a medium with permittivity ε₂ = 8ε₀. If the magnitude of the electric field at a distance r from q₁ is E₁, what is the magnitude of the electric field at the same distance r from q₂?
A
E₂ = E₁
B
E₂ = E₁/4
C
E₂ = 4E₁
D
E₂ = E₁/2
