Coulomb's Law
Coulomb's Law describes the force between two charged objects. It states that the force is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. In simpler terms, the more charge each object has, the stronger the force between them. However, as they get farther apart, the force weakens quickly. This principle helps explain how static electricity works, such as when two balloons stick together after being rubbed on hair, as they acquire opposite charges and attract each other.
