Coulomb's Law is a fundamental law of electromagnetism that describes the electrostatic interaction between two charged particles. It states that the force between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The formula for Coulomb's Law is F = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2, where F is the force between two charged particles, k is the Coulomb constant (8.99 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2), q1 and q2 are the charges of the two particles, and r is the distance between them.
Both Coulomb's Law and Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation describe the force between two objects. However, Coulomb's Law applies to the electrostatic force between charged particles, while Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation applies to the gravitational force between any two objects with mass.
The unit of measurement for electric charge is the Coulomb (C). One Coulomb is equal to the charge of approximately 6.24 x 10^18 protons.
According to Coulomb's Law, the force between two charged particles is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This means that as the distance between the particles increases, the force between them decreases exponentially.
