Describes the force between charged particles.

Where is Coulomb's constant and in SI (see Systems of units in electrodynamics) where is the vacuum permittivity.

In GCGS:

Principle of superposition

Suppose we have multiple point charges , ()
The force between charge and :

The total force acting on charge :
