What is Coulomb's law?

Coulomb's law describes the force between two point charges. It states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force acts along the line joining the charges and is attractive if the charges are opposite, or repulsive if they are the same.
