Limiting friction is just the maximum static friction force (if you go over that point static friction becomes kinetic friction).
Let f = frictional force,
c = coefficient of friction
N = Normal force
fmax = cN = limiting friction
Although the term coefficient of limiting friction is not really used, I'd assume it would just be "c" (it's a coefficient after all). So they would be the same.
If you meant is coefficient of friction the same as limiting friction, than the answer is no. Coefficient of friction is just the "c" in the equation. Limiting friction however is the product of the coefficient and the normal force.

Is the coefficient of friction on a horizontal plane between to substances the same as the coefficient of friction on the incline plane?

What are the units of the coefficient of friction?
The coefficient of friction is a scalar quantity which has no direction which does not have an angle.
How do you calculate friction equals coefficient of friction X normal force when frictional force and coefficient force are variables not given?
Friction= (coefficient of friction)(normal reaction) If you don't have the friction or the coefficient of it I'm sure you must have been given something else. Could you add the exact question to the discussion ?
What is the definition of kinetic?
Friction generated between two dry surfaces in contact during motion. Kinetic frictionis a product of the coefficient of kinetic friction and the normal reaction force. It assumes a constant value regardless of the amount of applied force or the speed of the motion. Its value is always less than the limiting friction between the same two surfaces.
What is the coefficient of friction for talcum powder.?
The coefficient of friction is defined as being between two substances, not just one substance.
Is the coefficient of friction the same as when the block was standing on its larger (or smaller) end?
The coefficient of friction is the same in this case.
Is the coefficient of friction on a horizontal plane between to substances the same as the coefficient of friction on the incline plane?

What is limiting value of friction?
The maximum friction that can be generated between two static surfaces in contact with each other. Once a force applied to the two surfaces exceeds the limiting friction, motion will occur. For two dry surfaces, the limiting friction is a product of the normal reaction force and the coefficient of limiting friction.
Is static friction and limiting friction the same?
Limiting friction is the case of static friction where an object is right on the edge of moving, any more force applied to the object will cause it to move. Limiting friction is the largest value that the static friction can take
What is the condition of skidding on circular track?
when the centripetal force is greater than frictional force,skidding occurs.if mu is the coefficient of friction between the road and tyre,then the limiting friction .
How does the coefficient of static friction for two surfaces in contact compare to the coefficient of kinetic friction for the same two surfaces?
The coefficient of static friction is always larger because it takes more initial force to move an object that is at rest.
How are fricition and force related?
Friction is a force and is the result of any force acting on a object. It is usually associated with two sliding objects or an object sliding across a plane. When a force is exerted on an object an opposing force is created by friction. The opposing force is equal to the exerted force until the exerted force exceeds the limiting friction. The limiting friction is determined by the coefficient of friction between the two surfaces and the "weight" of the object. To put it another way, imagine pushing a sheet of sandpaper across a rubber mat, which would have a high coefficient of friction. The weight of the sandpaper is minimal so the limiting friction is rather small. Now put a 5kg weight on the sandpaper and it becomes much more difficult to get the sandpaper to slide. Max friction = μ.N μ = coefficient of friction N = Normal force("weight")
Is the limiting friction is always less then rolling friction?
no limiting friction is not less than rolling friction
What are the examples of limiting friction?
If limiting friction is the same as static friction, then I have an answer, because static friction means that the objects in contact do not move. For example, if you place a box on the table, it does not move, as there is static friction between the box and the table.
Why sliding friction greater than rolling friction and if the area of contact is same?
The FORCE of Friction is INDEPENDENT of Surface Area. Only the 'Coefficient of Friction', and the Force between the two Surfaces. Sliding Friction is greater than Rolling Friction ONLY if the Coefficient of Friction is GREATER for the Sliding Surfaces.
Is the coefficient of friction up to 13 unit?
No. Coefficient of friction is not measured in units.
What factors determine the coefficient of friction?
quality of the Surface is affected to the Coefficient of friction
