What Coulomb's law tells us

What Coulomb's law tells us

Two uniformly charged spheres with centre-to-centre separation r and force arrows showing repulsion, plus an inset showing attraction for opposite charges

Coulomb's law gives the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point charges. Uniformly charged spherical conductors behave like point charges at their centres, so the same law applies to them.
