Which law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them?
A. Ampere's law
B. Coulomb's law✓ Correct Answer
C. Faraday's law
D. Gauss's law
💡 Solution & Explanation
Coulomb's law establishes that electrostatic force magnitude varies directly with the product of point charges and inversely with the square of their separation distance. Ampere and Faraday laws govern electromagnetism and magnetic induction rather than static charges.
