Electrostatic force via charges and distance

The Coulomb’s law states that the electrostatic force between two point charges in a vacuum is proportional to their values and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Notation:

1. \(\varepsilon_0\) (epsilon_0) is vacuum_permittivity.
