Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

According to Coulomb's law, the force of attraction or repulsion between the two charged bodies is directly proportional to the product of their  charge and inversely proportional to square of the distance between them.

The expression for Coulomb's law is given as,

F equals fraction numerator k q subscript 1 q subscript 2 over denominator r squared end fraction space... left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis

Here,

F is the force between two charges q subscript 1, and q subscript 2,

k is Coulomb's constant, and

r is the distance between the charges.
