Coulomb's Law
Charles Coulomb came up with this law to describe
the force that one electric charge will exert on another electric
charge.
"The force that one particle exerts on
another particle is directly proportional to the product of their
charges and inversely proportional to the square of their separation."
where q1 is the net charge of particle 1, q2 is the net charge
of particle 2, r is the separation of the particles and e0 is equal
to 8.85x10^-12 Nm^3/C. C is called the Coulomb, which is the unit
of electric charge.
