In Coulomb's Law, the distance between charges appears in the equation as 1/r^21/r  

2

1, slash, r, start superscript, 2, end superscript. That makes Coulomb's Law an example of an inverse square law. Another well-known inverse square law is Newton's Law of Gravitation. It makes intuitive sense that electric force goes down as the distance between two charged bodies increases. But why is the drop off in force precisely related to the square of the distance? Is the 222 a coincidence? A trick of nature?

An inverse square law is characteristic of anything that spreads out in straight lines, without getting lost. Both gravity and electric force have this property. We illustrate the idea with a fable.
