Coulomb's Law describes the force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges. The force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The electric field is defined as the force experienced by a small test charge divided by the value of that test charge. For a point charge, the electric field is proportional to the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the point charge.
Electric field lines represent the direction and strength of the electric field. They originate on positive charges and terminate on negative charges, with a higher density of lines indicating a stronger field.

Force on a point charge in an electric field: F=qE The electric field can be represented by field lines. These lines start on a positive charge and end on a negative charge. The number of field lines starting(ending on a positive (negative charge is proportional to the magnitude of the charge. The electric field is stronger where the field lines are close together.
Electric Dipoles Two equal charges, opposite in sign. Field Lines The electric field between two closely spaced oppositely charged parallel plates is constant Principles on Electric field lines:
Electric Field lines always extend from a positively charged
object to a negatively charged object, from a positively charged object to infinity or from infinity to a negatively charged object.
Electric field lines are never cross each other
Electric field lines are most dense around objects with the greatest amount of charge.
At locations where electric field lines meet the surface of an
object, the lines are perpendicular to the surface. Summary of field lines: Field lines indicate the direction of the field: the field is tangent to the line The magnitude of the field is proportional to the density of the lines. Field lines start positive charges and end on negative charges; the number is proportional to the magnitude of the charge.
