One of Newton's laws(1 or 2) states that every force has an equal and opposite force.
Coulomb's law describes subatomic particles interacting with one another. Electrons repel each-other relative to their distance while attracting protons relative to each-other.
My question is, will the "equal and opposite" part of Newton's law apply in this case? For example, if we have a proton and an electron, will the force of the electron onto the proton fall back onto the electron?
