Coulomb's Law states: The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point electric charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of each charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the chargesNewton's Law of gravitation states: Every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force pointing along the line intersecting both points. The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the point masses:Similarity: 1) Both apply the inverse-square law; intenity inversely proportional to square of the distance. 2) Talking about spherical objects i.e. point charge, point mass. Differences: 1) one is about large mass; one is about small size huge charges. 2) Gravitation is ONLY ABOUT attraction and NO repulsion. Coulomb's force has both attraction and repulsion
the common thing is attraction between different matters which have different electrical charges . only one thing is different between this laws. coulomb's law says that matters which have same electrical charges, pushes the other matter

The similarities come in the way of the "form of the equation".
Newton's law: F=g*[m1m2/r2]
Coulombs law: F=k*[q1q2/r2]
they are both inverse square laws and both multiply one property of each material together and have a constant factor [g in newton's and k in coulombs]
Similarities:
* Both are inverse-square lawsDifferences:
* Electric forces can both be attractive and repulsive
* Gravitation acts on masses; electric forces work on electric charges.
They have the same dependence on distance between two charges/particles.
They're algebraically identical. The difference is the size of the proportionality constant.
Negative masses don't figure.
The forces are electrical versus gravitational.
Both have forces involving the inverse square.
Electrical and Gravitational forces are similar in being the derivative of scalar potential energies resulting in inverse square laws.
newtons gravitational law is similar to that of coulomb's law...
Their mathematical forms are identical. The differences are: -- The proportionality constants. Newton's is 'G'. Coulomb's is 1/4Πε0 . -- The variables in Coulomb's numerator are electrical charges and he doesn't care about masses. The variables in Newton's numerator are masses and he doesn't care about charges. (I'm not sure Newton even knew about charges.) -- Coulomb's charges have a choice of two signs, so his forces can be attractive or repulsive, just like the co-eds in my sophomore engineering classes. Newton's masses are always positive, the gravitational forces are always attractive, and to this day negative mass has never yet been observed .
A coulomb is bigger. Please also note that a coulomb is defined as a POSITIVE charge, while an electron has a NEGATIVE charge. Anyway, the magnitude of a coulomb is much bigger than that of an electron.
The amount of charge in 1 Coulomb is exactly 1 Coulomb of charge. That's true whether the charge is positive or negative.
Electrical and Gravitational forces are similar in being the derivative of scalar potential energies resulting in inverse square laws.
The use different formulas based on different parameters, and deal with different physical processes.

Gravitation is one possibility. Coulomb (static electrical) force is another. Magnetism is another. Hormonal chemistry is another.
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

I understand "similarities" to be a description of how different things resemble each other, so as soon as you say "similarities", I expect you to name at least two things. I've jotted "coulomb" down in my notebook, and as soon as you name the second thing, I'll get to work on how they resemble each other. So far, your question is a lot like asking what it sounds like when one hand claps, or how a person would use one scissor to alter a trouser.

He was famous for coulomb's law
Charles Augustin de coulomb discovered the coulomb's law in the 1780s. and limestone 1820
Coulomb discovered Coulomb's law in 1785 after a series of experiments relating to electromagnetism. He published the findings of his three reports in 1785.
Saint-Coulomb's population is 2,454.
