 Charles-Augustin de Coulomb

    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. Coulombic force is one of the principal forces involved in atomic reactions.   
    Coulomb spent nine years in the West Indies as a military engineer and returned to France with impaired health. He also established the inverse square law of attraction and repulsion of unlike and like magnetic poles, which became the basis for the mathematical theory of magnetic forces developed by Siméon-Denis Poisson. He also did research on friction of machinery, on windmills, and on the elasticity of metal and silk fibres. The coulomb, a unit of electric charge, was named in his honour.
