physics.coulombs_law

Coulomb’s law states that 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.

F = k * q1 * q2 / r^2

k is Coulomb’s constant and equals 1/(4π*ε0) q1 is charge of first body (C) q2 is charge of second body (C) r is distance between two charged bodies (m)
