& Coulomb's Law
The electrostatic force is the force of attraction or repulsion between two charged particles. It is also called Coulomb’s force or Coulomb’s interaction. For example, the force between the protons and electrons in an atom is electrostatic and is responsible for the atom’s stability. In chemistry, the electrostatic bonding force is important and binds an ionic molecule.
Coulomb’s Law
The electrostatic force between two charged particles can be quantified by Coulomb’s law. It is usually applied to point charges and gives a relationship between the electrostatic force, the magnitude of the charges, and separation distance. According to this law, the force between the two particles is,
Directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of the charges
Inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two charges
