Who invented Coulumb’s Law?
Charles-Augustin de Coulomb
(born June 14, 1736, Angoulême, France—died August 23, 1806, Paris), French physicist best known for the formulation of Coulomb’s law, which states that the force between two electrical charges is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Charles-Augustin de Coulomb
Predicts what is going to be the force of attraction or repulsion between two forces.
