About Coulomb's Law
Coulomb's law gives the electrostatic force between two point charges in terms of their magnitudes, separation and the medium between them. Questions involve attraction and repulsion, the inverse square relationship, superposition of forces and vector direction, which must not be confused with the electric field produced by a charge.
