Best Answer

The force between two charges (masses) is proportional to the product of the charges (masses) and inversely proportional (same) to the distance between them.

The formula for the force between two charges (masses) has the same exact form in both cases.

No


How is coulombs law the same as newtons law how are the?

Both have the concept of variation of force inversely with the square of the distance. But in case of coulomb we have electric charges and in case of newton's gravitation law we have masses. Coulomb's force can be either attractive and repulsive where as Newton's is only attractive


How do you calculate coulombs law?

Coulombs law is given by the equation:F=kq1*q2/r^2 This means that the force of attration between two particles is = to k(9.11810^9) times the product of their charges divided by the distance apart sqaured. The final units are in Newtons. And in this equation k is a constant given by: 9E9 N*m^2/C^2
