* Coulomb's Law: The force between two point charges is determined by Coulomb's Law. It states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
* Equal and Opposite Forces: According to Newton's Third Law, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that the forces between two charges are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
Therefore, the ratio of the magnitudes of the forces acting on each point charge will always be 1:1.
However, the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric fields at the location of each charge would be different if the charges are not equal. The electric field strength is directly proportional to the charge creating the field.
