🎂🍸 Happy birthday Mr. Coulomb✨: Charles-Augustin Coulomb was born 284 years ago on a June 14th. Mr. Coulomb was a French #physicist best known for the formulation of Coulomb's law, which states that the #force between two #electricalcharges 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. The inverse-square relationship is also seen in the relationship of the gravitation force between masses. In 1777, he invented a torsion balance which he subsequently modified for electrical measurements. He also did research on friction of machinery, on windmills, and on the elasticity of metal and silk fibres. #knowledgesharing #knowledgethatmatters #engineering #CoulombsLaw
