Explain Like I'm 5

Imagine you have two magnets, and when you bring them close together, they either attract or repel each other. Coulomb's Law is like a rule that tells us how strong this attraction or repulsion is when we have electric charges instead of magnets. It's like knowing how much force you need to push or pull two charged objects apart based on how much charge they have and how far apart they are.
