"""
|
||
Apply Coulomb's Law on any three given values. These can be force, charge1,
|
||
charge2, or distance, and then in a Python dict return name/value pair of
|
||
the zero value.
|
||
|
||
Coulomb's Law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force of
|
||
attraction or repulsion between two point charges is directly proportional
|
||
to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to
|
||
the square of the distance between them.

Parameters
|

----------
