Coulomb's Law describes the electrostatic interaction between charged particles. Formulated by Charles-Augustin de Coulomb in the 18th century, the law states that the force \\( F \\) between two point charges \\( q_1 \\) and \\( q_2 \\) is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance \\( r \\) between them.
