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.
Question

![### Problem 28
**Text:**
(II) Point \( a \) is 26 cm north of a \(-3.8 \mu C \) point charge, and point \( b \) is 36 cm west of the charge (Fig. 23–27). Determine
(a) \( V_b - V_a \), and
(b) \( \vec{E}_b - \vec{E}_a \) (magnitude and direction).
**Figure 23-27:**
- The diagram shows a point charge \( Q = -3.8 \mu C \).
- Point \( a \) is located 26 cm directly to the north (upward) from the charge.
- Point \( b \) is located 36 cm directly to the west (left) from the charge.
- The figure visually represents the positions of points \( a \) and \( b \) with respect to the charge \( Q \).
**Detailed Description of the Diagram:**
- The charge \( Q \) is situated at the origin of the coordinate system.
- The \( y \)-axis shows a mark at 26 cm directly above the charge for point \( a \).
- The \( x \)-axis shows a mark at 36 cm directly to the left of the charge for point \( b \).
- Both points \( a \) and \( b \) are marked along with dotted horizontal and vertical lines from the origin to indicate their respective distances from the charge.
