Using Gauss's theorem,obtain an expression for the force between 2 point charges?

Let the gaussian surface be a sphere and the separation between the charge is r and taking  one charge insde the sphere and the other be at the surface (r)
now  firstly we are interested in finding the magnitude of electric field at a distance r
E.ds = qnet/∊0
E ds = q1ε0   E × 4πr2  =q1ε0               E= q1 4πr2ε0 (this is electric field due to charge 1 at a distance r)
now w can find force on due to this electric field on charge q​2
F = q2E
    = q2 E = q1q24πε0r2          = 14πε0×q1q2r2
this proves the force of interection between 2 charge particle.
