What is Coulomb's Law?

Coulomb's inverse-square law, or simply Coulomb's law, is an experimental law of physics that quantifies the amount of force between two stationary, electrically charged particles.

F = k × |q₁ × q₂| / r²
  • F (Force): The electrostatic force in Newtons (N).
  • k (Coulomb's Constant): Approximately 8.987 × 10⁹ N⋅m²/C².
  • q₁ & q₂: The magnitudes of the charges (Coulombs, C).
  • r: The distance between the charges (meters, m).
