Coulomb Coupling

Coulomb coupling refers to the interaction between charged particles due to the electric force. When two charged objects, like electrons or protons, are close to each other, they exert a force on one another: like charges repel, while opposite charges attract. This interaction can influence how particles behave in various systems, such as in atoms or throughout materials. In contexts like quantum mechanics and solid-state physics, understanding Coulomb coupling helps scientists describe how particles interact and affect properties like conductivity, magnetism, and chemical reactions. It’s fundamental to many areas of physics and chemistry.
