Ok, so someone would have had to have literally measured one of them before I could calculate the electric fields (makes more sense now). I didn't know if there was another formula that was used to calculate the point charge beforehand. Thanks for your help, Enchantinggust

Or was it how I typed it that was confusing?

Wouldn't Coulomb's law be similar to Kepler's gravitational law (Fg = m1*m2/r^2)? In that case, I would have 2 separate charges from different planets. I could assume that since the Earth's magnetosphere deflects solar radiation and has a north and south pole, the overall charge of the Earth...

All, I am not sure if this is the right forum for this but I believe it is the closest to the question I would like an answer to. I would like to calculate the electrical force between Mars and the Earth. I believe I understand that in order to do this, I must apply Coulomb's law: E=...
