I want to know how coloumbs constant was derived without using gausses law
The value of Coloumbs constant, also known as the electric constant, is approximately 8.98755 x 10^9 N·m^2/C^2.
Coloumbs constant can be derived using Coulomb's Law, which states that the force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The formula for Coloumbs constant is k = 1 / (4πε0), where k is the constant, π is pi, and ε0 is the electric permittivity of free space.
The units of Coloumbs constant are N·m^2/C^2, or newtons times meters squared per coulomb squared.
Coloumbs constant is important in physics because it helps to describe the strength of the electric force between two charged particles. It is also used in many equations and laws related to electricity and magnetism, making it a fundamental constant in this field of study.
