Study Notes

Coulomb's Law

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

History of Coulomb's Law

Coulomb's law was first published in 1785 by Charles-Augustin de Coulomb.

Electric Force

The electric force described by Coulomb's law is conventionally named the Coulomb force.

Application of Coulomb's Law

Coulomb's law applies to both charged particles at rest and in motion.

Interaction Between Charges

When two bodies have like electrical charges, they repel each other.
When two bodies have unlike electrical charges, they attract each other.
