Charles de Coulomb

Charles de Coulomb was a French physicist known for formulating Coulomb's Law, which quantifies the electric force between two charged objects. He discovered that the force depends on the magnitude of the charges and the distance between them, decreasing as the distance increases. Specifically, the force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. His work laid the foundation for understanding electric interactions, crucial for fields like electricity and magnetism, and is fundamental in designing electrical and electronic systems.
