Charles-Augustus Coulomb

Charles-Augustin de Coulomb was a French physicist known for discovering how electric and magnetic forces work. He formulated Coulomb's Law, which describes the force between two charged objects: the force depends on the amount of charge and the distance between them. The larger the charges, the stronger the force; the farther apart they are, the weaker the force. His work helps explain how particles attract or repel each other in electricity and magnetism, laying the foundation for many modern technologies like motors, sensors, and electrical circuits.
