Analogous to Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation is Coulomb's Universal Law of Electrostatic Attraction. However, neither of these universal laws allows us to describe the motion of a body or bodies, i.e. it does not relate the change in motion to forces involved, but rather simply allows us to calculate the force based on the masses involved and the square of the distance between their centers.
