Coulomb's Law:
In 1784 using torsion balance by Charles Augustin de Coulomb.
Statement:
Coulomb's law states that, “The electrostatic force between two point charges is directly
proportional to the magnitude of product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of
the distance (r) between them.
