Coulomb's Law
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for information regarding Coulomb's Law, which describes the force between two charged objects. Specifically, it quantifies the electrostatic force as proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Answer
Coulomb's law measures force between two charged particles, proportional to charge product, inversely proportional to distance squared.
Coulomb's law is a mathematical description of the electrostatic force between charged objects, stating that the force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

More Information
Coulomb's law is crucial for understanding electrostatics and forms the basis for electric field calculations. The law is similar in form to Newton's law of universal gravitation.
Tips
Mistakes often occur in not accurately measuring distances or misunderstanding charge signs leading to incorrect force direction.
