$ F= k_e \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$ ====== Coulomb's law ====== {{ :equations:coulombforce.png?nolink&200|}} Coulomb's law is the static limit of the inhomogenous Maxwell equations. The motto in this section is: //the higher the level of abstraction, the better//. * $F$ is the force between the two charged objects. * $k_e$ is Coulomb's contant. * $q_1$ and $q_2$ are the charges of the two objects in questions. * $r$ is the distance between the two charged objects.
