Coulomb's Law Coulomb's law statement " Like charges ripple each other and unlike charges attract each other. " OR " The electrostatic force ( attraction or repulsion type ) between two charges is directly proportional to the product of magnitude of two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between two charges. " Mathematically, F ∝ q1 q2 / r^2 |F |= k q1 q2 / r^2 Where, k = coulomb's constant q1,q2 = charges r = distance between two charges
