Formula and explanation

Formula: F = k (|q₁ q₂|)/(r²) Conditions: Two stationary point charges in a vacuum. Explanation: Describes the magnitude of the interaction force between two stationary point charges. The magnitude of the force is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
