What are the similarities and differences between Coulomb's Law and Newton's Law of gravitation?
What will be an ideal response?
Both laws are inverse-square laws and both are directly dependent on the quantities involved: electric charge for electrical force, and mass for gravitational force. The coulomb force between a pair of electrons is many billions of times greater than the gravitational force between them. Whereas the gravitational force is only attractive, the coulomb force can be attractive or repulsive, depending on whether like or unlike charges are involved.
