Why is Coulomb's law associated with Newton's $3^{rd}$ law?

  • A
    Because it involves point charges.
  • B
    Because the electrostatic force between two charges is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
  • C
    Because it follows the principle of superposition.
  • D
    Because it is an inverse square law.
