The magnitude of the force is linearly proportional to the net charge on each object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. (Interestingly, the force does not depend on the mass of the objects.) The direction of the force vector is along the imaginary line joining the two objects and is dictated by the signs of the charges.

The mathematical formula for the electrostatic force is called Coulomb’s law after the French physicist Charles Coulomb.
