Solution

Coulomb force causes oppositely charged particles to attract each other.
Coulomb force is responsible for the charged particles to attract and repel each other.
This force causes like charges (positive and positive or negative and negative charges) repel and unlike charges negative and positive) attract each other.
The force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two charges.
