It is said that the rules and principles of science always remain the same and are set in stone. But recently a study by Oxford University has worked to refute such a rule, according to which it has challenged the simple rule of physics taught in school. Coulomb’s Law explains the basic laws of electricity. Children who study before 10th class. But this study says that the statement of Coulomb’s law that similar charges move away from each other is not always correct. Scientists are quite surprised to see this unique exception.
Coulomb’s law says that opposite charges attract each other and like charges repel each other, i.e. try to move away from each other. The entire electricity system is based on this rule and we use electrical appliances made on its basis in our homes.
In this study, scientists found that particles with the same charge can attract each other in a solution, whereas according to Coulomb’s law they should push each other away. This discovery will have an impact not only on electromagnetic theory, but also on many scientific and industrial processes.

In a study published in Nature Nanotechnology, a team from the Chemistry Department of Oxford has found that the behavior of charged particles in solution can be very different, depending on the charge and the nature of the solvent. He found that negatively charged particles in water attract each other over a considerable distance.
For this, the negatively charged particles also form small hexagon shaped groups among themselves. The interesting thing is that this has not been seen with positively charged particles under the same circumstances. At the same time, when the solution was replaced with alcohol instead of water, such groups were formed by either positively charged particles but not by negatively charged particles.
This unexpected behavior contradicts the rules of current electromagnetic theory. The team studied bright microscopy in their study. And closely observed the microscopic particles of silica first in water and then in alcohol solutions.
