Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.

27.26 A mad scientist invents a de-
vice that is able to teleport every electron 2
in their body to the center of the Earth
(6.37x106 m below). We can make the as-
sumption that the human body is mostly
water with a bit of carbon and as such
there will be about 3.2 × 1026 electrons
per kilogram of body. If the mad scientist,
who weighs 65 kg is so unwise as to actu-
ally use this device on himself what will
the magnitude of the attraction between
his body (stripped of all electrons) and all
the electrons newly deposited at the cen-
ter of the Earth? (How does this compare
with the gravitational attraction between
the mad scientist and the Earth?)
