Coulomb's Law states that 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 charges. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article.

∙ 14y agoAccording to this law ,the magnitude of the electrostatic force is given by
F is proportional to q1xq2/r2,where q1 and q2 are two point charges and "r"their distance apart in vacuum.
F=kq1xq2/r2,Where k is a constant whose magnitude depends upon the system of units employed and the nature of medium in which the charges are placed.

What are the units of the Coulomb constant k which appears in Coulomb's law?
newtons * meters squared / coulombs squared
What is coulombs constant?
It is 8.9875517873681764×109 N·m^2/C^2
What is the value for Coulombs constant k?
8.998 X 10^9 N*m^2/C^2
Forgetting amps for a second if you produced 8 gigavolts a second could you say you are producing 8 gigajoules a second?
No, you can't just forget about amps. A Joule is a volt coulomb. To calculate coulombs you need amps
Example of mathematical scientific law?
A simple law is the commutative addition law.
What are the limitations coulombs law?
Limitations of coulombs law
Is coulombs law a universal law?
No
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 do you calculate electrostatic force?
coulombs law
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
What does coulombs law find?
The force between two charged particles.
What is the mathematical form of coulombs law similar to?
newtons gravitational law is similar to that of coulomb's law...
Does coulombs law predict the attraction between two unlike charges?
yes
How is coulombs law similar to newtons law of gravity?
Both are 'Inverse square' forces, f=k/r2 .
What mathematical expression identifies the number of coulombs necessary to produce one mole of iron metal from an aqueous solution of iron III sulfate?
The law is:Needed electricity in coulombs = Faraday constant (96500 C) x number of molesSo 96500 coulombs are needed.
What are the units of the Coulomb constant k which appears in Coulomb's law?
newtons * meters squared / coulombs squared
