The fundamental law of electrostatics was discovered by Couloumb1, and states that the force between two small charged bodies is proportional in magnitude to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart,
the force being one of repulsion or attraction according as the charges are of the same or opposite kinds.
