...two objects produce a force between each other (the force due to gravity) which varies inversely as the square of the distance between them, and directly as the product of their masses: Similarly, Coulomb's law states that two charged bodies produce a force between each other... | |

...consider the law of gravitation, that two bodies exert a force between them that varies inversely as the square of the distance between them and directly as the product of their masses. Strictly speaking, this is false for charged bodies subject to electromagnetic forces, but... | |
