forces - Electrostatics - Inserting a brass plate between two charges


The question is: if I were to insert a brass plate between two charges, what will happen to the force between the charges? Would it increase, decrease or stay the same?

Does the brass plate increase the value of permittivity of the medium and therefore the force decreases?

The correct answer is that it will increase. But I do not understand how.

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
