I read it on wikipidia that Coulomb law will work if both the charges are at rest relatively. Will there be an effect of magnetic field also?

1$\begingroup$ In a reference frame where the two charges are moving each charge will produce a magnetic field, and instead of Coulomb you should use the (more general) lorentz force en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_force the total force felt will remain the same though $\endgroup$– user83548Commented Sep 28, 2015 at 22:59

if both charges are moving with same speed and have the same charge then their magnetic fields will be same and hence they will cancel each other out
