Coulomb's law
/ˈkuːlɒmz
/noun Physics
A law stating that like charges repel and opposite charges attract, with a force proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.He did this by equating Coulomb's law to Newton's equations of motion....
- The analytical expression for this energy was obtained in the form of Coulomb's law with an effective distance-dependent dielectric function.
- Among these was Coulomb's law in electrostatics.
Origin
