Coulomb (Charles-Augustin de Coulomb)

Charles-Augustin de Coulomb was a French scientist known for formulating Coulomb's law, which describes the force between two electrically charged objects. This force depends on the amount of charge each object has and the distance between them. Specifically, the force is stronger when the charges are larger and weaker as the objects move farther apart. Coulomb’s law helps explain how electric charges interact and is fundamental in understanding electricity and magnetism. His work provides the basis for many modern technologies, including electrical circuits and electronic devices.
