What force does Coulomb's law describe?

  • Magnetic

  • Gravitational

  • Electrostatic

  • Nuclear

Answer

Electrostatic force is the force of attraction or repulsion between two charged particles. It is described by Coulomb's law, which states that the force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The constant of proportionality is known as the Coulomb constant.
