Q. What does coulomb's law of attraction and repulsion states?

Q. "Analogous to the Coulomb's law the Newton's law of gravitation states that whenever two bodies of certain mass

m_{1}

m_{2}

are separated by distance

^{'} r^{'}

, then each of them attract each other by a force given as:

F = \frac{G m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2}}

^{'} G^{'}

is a constant"
