The force is modeled based on the charge and distance, and Coulomb’s constant (k) is known as a proportionality constant in the equation F=k qq/r2.
Beside above, what is Coulomb’s constant equal to?
The constant ke is called Coulomb’s constant and is equal to 1/4πε0, where ε0 is the electric constant; ke = 8.988×109 N⋅m2⋅C−2. If the product q1q2 is positive, the force between the two charges is repulsive; if the product is negative, the force between them is attractive.
