I am wondering if there is some way for the force between two charges (calculated by Coloumb's law) and the force applied by a field on a charge.
Thanks in advance

The relationship between electric forces and electric charges is that electric charges exert forces on each other. These forces can be attractive or repulsive depending on the type of charge. Like charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract each other.
Electric forces can accelerate charged particles and change their direction of motion. This is because the charged particles experience a force in the presence of an electric field. The direction of the force depends on the direction of the electric field and the charge of the particle.
The main difference between electric forces and gravitational forces is that electric forces act between charged particles, while gravitational forces act between any two objects with mass. Additionally, electric forces can be either attractive or repulsive, while gravitational forces are always attractive.
The strength of electric forces decreases as the distance between charged particles increases. This is because the electric force between two charged particles is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. As the distance increases, the force decreases exponentially.
Yes, electric forces can act through a vacuum. This is because electric forces are a type of non-contact force, meaning they do not require direct contact to act between two objects. As long as there is a charged particle, an electric force can act on it even if there is empty space between the particles.
