Slide Notes

He used a torsion balance to study the repulsion and attraction forces of charged particles, and determined that the magnitude of the electric force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them

Charles-Augustin de coulomb

  • Found a way to explain the interactions between charged particles 
  • His findings indicate that: 
  • Like charges repel each other and opposites attract
  • The Coulomb is a fundamental unit of electric charge
  • It is equal to 6.241x10^18 electrons
