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

∙ 8y agoThe main similarity is that both are inverse square laws.The differences are that gravity is always attractive; the electrostatic force can be attractive or repulsive; also, gravity depends on mass (and affects all objects), whereas the electrostatic force affects electric charges.

Coulombs law has to due with charge and ATTRACTION AND REPULSION

How is coulombs law similar to newtons law of gravity?
Both are 'Inverse square' forces, f=k/r2 .
What is the mathematical form of coulombs law similar to?
newtons gravitational law is similar to that of coulomb's law...
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
What does the Q in coulombs law stand for?
Q refers to charges. Charges are measured in coulombs.
What is the drawback of coulombs law?
Coulumbs law is applicable only for static fields that is when charges are stationary
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
How is coulombs law similar to newtons law of gravity?
Both are 'Inverse square' forces, f=k/r2 .
What is the mathematical form of coulombs law similar to?
newtons gravitational law is similar to that of coulomb's law...
What are the units of the Coulomb constant k which appears in Coulomb's law?
newtons * meters squared / coulombs squared
What are the limitations coulombs law?
Limitations of coulombs law
How is coulombs law the same as newtons law how are the laws different?
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
Is coulombs law a universal law?
No

How do you calculate electrostatic force?
coulombs law
Is Galileo law of inertia and newtons first law of motion are same or different?
yes they r same
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.
