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 is coulombs law different from newton law?

Newtons law has to due with mass and ATTRACTION only Coulombs law has to due with charge and ATTRACTION AND REPULSION


What are the units of the Coulomb constant k which appears in Coulomb's law?

newtons * meters squared / coulombs squared


How is Coulombs Law like Newtons Law?

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.

What does the proportionality constant k in coulombs law is huge in ordinary units whereas the proportionality constant g in newtons law of gravition is tiny mean?

It means that the force of electrical attraction (or repulsion) between two particles with units charges will be greater than the gravitational attraction between two particles with unit mass which are the same distance apart.


As newtons first law is the part of newtons second law then why you study newtons first law?

Its a matter of being scientifically rigorous. You can not claim the 2nd law as a law unless you first establish the first law.


What does the universal law of gravitation sate?

It states newtons law of gravitation


What does newtons divided by coulombs equal?

That's the unit for the electric field. The SI units for electric field are, precisely, newtons/coulomb - or the equivalent, volts/meter. This unit doesn't have a special name.
