B. Force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and the square of the distance between them
C. Force between two point charges is directly proportional to the sum of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
D. Force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
Explanation
Coulomb's Law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force (F) between two point charges (q1 and q2) is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r) between them.
Mathematically, this is expressed as: F ∝ (q1 × q2) / r².
This law describes the relationship between electric charges and the force they exert on each other.
