There is no difference.
U can call it anything.
The basic concept is:
electrostatic force or coulambic force is given between two charges .i.e. cation or anion electrion or proton proton or proton electron or electron.
The force thus, would be given as:
 
F = kq1q1/r^2
where r is the distance b/w them.
