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.

ProfessorAccording 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.
