$A$ force $F$ acts between sodium and chlorine ions of salt (sodium chloride) when placed $1 \ cm$ apart in air. The permittivity of air is $\varepsilon_0$ and the dielectric constant of water is $K$. When a piece of salt is placed in water,the electrical force acting between sodium and chlorine ions $1 \ cm$ apart is:

  • A
    $\frac{F}{K}$
  • B
    $\frac{FK}{\varepsilon_0}$
  • C
    $\frac{F}{K\varepsilon_0}$
  • D
    $\frac{F\varepsilon_0}{K}$
