Coulomb's Law describes the electrostatic interaction between electrically charged particles. Formulated by Charles-Augustin de Coulomb in 1785, it states that the force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Mathematically, it is represented as:
F = k * (q1 * q2) / r²
where F is the force between the charges, q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the charges, r is the distance between the centers of the two charges, and k is Coulomb's constant.
