The magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion

between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of

the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the

distance between them. The force is along the straight line joining them.

If the two charges have the same sign, the electrostatic force between

them is repulsive; if they have different signs, the force between them

is attractive. In the equilibrium stateholds even within atoms, correctly

describing the force between the positively charged atomic nucleus and

each of the negatively charged electrons. This simple law also correctly

accounts for the forces that bind atoms together to form molecules and

for the forces that bind atoms and molecules together to form solids and

liquids. Generally, as the distance between ions increases, the force of

attraction, and binding energy, approach zero and ionic bonding is less

favorable. As the magnitude of opposing charges increases, energy increases

and ionic bonding is more favorable. Coulomb’s law, or Coulomb’s inversesquare

law, is an experimental law of physics that quantifies the amount of

force between two stationaries, electrically charged particles. The electric

force between charged bodies at rest is conventionally called electrostatic

force or Coulomb force. The quantity of electrostatic force between

stationary charges is always described by Coulomb’s law. The law was first

published in 1785 by French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, and

was essential to the development of the theory of electromagnetism, maybe

even its starting point, because it was now possible to discuss quantity of

electric charge in a meaningful way.
