Coulomb force, also called electrostatic force or Coulomb interaction, attraction or repulsion of particles or objects because of their electric force. One of the basic physical forces, the electric force is named for a French physicist, coloumb , who in 1785 published the results of an experimental investigation into the correct quantitative description of this force.

Two like electric charges, both positive or both negative, repel each other along a straight line between their centres. Two unlike charges, one positive, one negative, attract each other along a straight line joining their centres. The electric force is operative between charges down to distances of at least 10−1610−16

metre, or approximately one-tenth of the diameter of atomic nuclei. Because of their positive charge, protons within nuclei repel each other, but nuclei hold together because of another basic physical force, the strong interaction, or

nuclear force, which is stronger than the electric force. Massive, but electrically neutral, astronomical bodies such as planets and stars are bound together in solar systems and galaxies by still another basic physical force,

An electrostatic force is a branch of science that studies the charge at rest it is also called Columb force
