## Coulomb's Law

Coulomb's law gives the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point charges.

### Formula

**F = k * |q1 * q2| / r²**

where k = 8.9875 x 10^9 N·m²/C². Like charges repel, unlike charges attract.

Lösungsbeispiel

Two charges (1 μC and 2 μC) separated by 5 cm.

  1. F = k * |q1 * q2| / r²
  2. F = 8.9875e9 * |1e-6 * 2e-6| / 0.05²
  3. F = 8.9875e9 * 2e-12 / 0.0025
  4. F = 0.01798 / 0.0025 = 7.19 N
