Coulomb's law is the attractive force (F) between two oppositely charged particles (Q1 and Q2). It is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the distance (d) between the objects cubed.
Added by Diana P.
Step 1
- We have two oppositely charged particles with charges Q1 and Q2. - The force (F) between these particles is attractive. - The force is directly proportional to the product of the charges (Q1 and Q2). - The force is inversely proportional to the distance (d) Show more…

Coulomb's Law states that the force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force between two charges is also directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
