Law
Charles-Augustin de Coulomb:

Coulomb graduated in November 1761 from École royale du


génie de Mézières. Over the next twenty years he was posted to
a variety of locations where he was involved in engineering -
structural, fortifications, soil mechanics, as well as other fields
of engineering. His first posting was to Brest but in February
1764 he was sent to Martinique, in the West Indies, where he
was put in charge of building the new Fort Bourbon and this task
occupied him until June 1772.

On his return to France, Coulomb was sent to Bouchain.


However, he now began to write important works on applied
mechanics and he presented his first work to the Académie des
Sciences in Paris in 1773. In 1779 Coulomb was sent to
Rochefort to collaborate with the Marquis de Montalembert in
constructing a fort made entirely from wood near lle d'Aix.
During his period at Rochefort, Coulomb carried on his research
into mechanics, in particular using the shipyards in Rochefort as
laboratories for his experiments.

Upon his return to France, with the rank of Captain, he was employed at
La Rochelle, the Isle of Aix and Cherbourg. He discovered an inverse
relationship of the force between electric charges and the square of its
distance, later named after him as Coulomb's law.

COLOUMB’S LAW
Coulomb's Law describes the electrostatic interaction between electrically charged
particles. It states that the force F between two point charges is:

1. Directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges q1 and q2.

2. Inversely proportional to the square of the distance r between them.

Where:

- F is the magnitude of the force between the two charges.

- q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the charges.

- r is the distance between the centers of the two charges.

- k is Coulomb's constant (k = 8.99 × 10^9 Nm²/C²). The force is attractive if the charges are
opposite and repulsive if the charges are the same.
