	Coulomb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Coulomb addressed the Academy of Science (Paris, 1773) presenting a modest "essay on the application of the rules of maxima and minima to certain statics problems relavant to architecture." This "essay," printed three years later by the Academy, is the earliest published soil mechanics theory; it started the active and passive pressure concepts.
		Coulomb spent 9 years as a military engineer in the West Indies but, according to Ref. 2, "his health suffered so, when the French Revolution began, he retired to the country to do scientific research." It seems to me that his retirement was not really voluntary (see the story in our dark side page).
		Coulomb worked on applied mechanics but he is best known to physicists for his work on electricity and magnetism.

	Coulomb's law Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of the force that one charged particle exerts on a second charged particle is proportional to the magnitude of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
		Coulomb's law, in combination with principles of quantum physics, helps to describe the forces that bind electrons to the nucleus in atoms, that bind atoms together to form molecules, and that hold the molecules in liquids and solids together.
		Coulomb's law can also be interpreted in terms of atomic units with the force expressed in Hartrees per Bohr radius, the charge in terms of the elementary charge, and the distances in terms of the Bohr radius.

	Charles-Augustin de Coulomb Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Coulomb is today best known for his measurements of the forces of magnetic and electric attraction and for his formulation of the law now known as Coulomb's law.
		In the remaining memoirs Coulomb showed that charge leakage is proportional to charge, and that static charge is distributed on conductor surfaces (not their interiors); and he produced a fully-developed magnetic theory.
		Coulomb is distinguished in the history of mechanics and of electricity and magnetism.

	Coulomb's Law. Electrical Principles and History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Coulomb used little spheres with different charges whose exact value he did not know, but the experiment allowed him to test the relation between the charges.
		Coulomb realized that if a charged sphere touches another identical not charged sphere, the charge will be shared in equal parts symmetrically.
		When he varied the distance between the charges, he found the force decreased in relation to the square of the distance; that is, if the distance was duplicated, the force decreased to the fourth part of the original value.

	Coulomb biography
		Coulomb's mother remained in Paris but Coulomb had a disagreement with her over the direction his career should take so he left Paris and went to Montpellier to live with his father.
		Coulomb wanted to enter the École du Génie at Mézières but realised that to succeed in passing the entrance examinations he needed to be tutored.
		It is to Borda and to Coulomb that one owes the renaissance of true physics in France, not a verbose and hypothetical physics, but that ingenious and exact physics which observes and compares all with rigour.

		Charles Augustin de Coulomb (1736-1806), French physicist, pioneer in electrical theory, born in Angoulême. He served as a military engineer for France in the West Indies, but retired to Blois, France, at the time of the French Revolution to continue research in magnetism, friction, and electricity.
		With this invention, Coulomb was able to formulate the principle, now known as Coulomb's law, governing the interaction between electric charges.
		After the war Coulomb came out of retirement and assisted the new government in devising a metric system of weights and measures.

		As the balls suspended from the thin fiber rotate toward the one attached to a glass rod, Coulomb was able to measure the torsion on the fiber with the scale near the top of the device and the distance between the balls on the scale that circumscribed the jar.

	Coulomb's constant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Coulomb's inverse-square law was discovered by Henry Cavendish prior to Coulomb, but the result went unpublished until after his death.
		Coulomb's work was published in several issues of the Mémoirs de l'Académie Royale between 1775 and 1779.
		Coulomb's constant occurs in Gauss's law, where the electric field integrated over a closed surface (the normal component, to give the flux out of the region bounded by the surface) is related to the charge Q enclosed inside the surface.

		The importance and usefulness of Coulomb excitation was realized very early in nuclear studies.

	Coulomb Barrier for Nuclear Fusion
		The fusion temperature obtained by setting the average thermal energy equal to the coulomb barrier gives too high a temperature because fusion can be initiated by those particles which are out on the high-energy tail of the Maxwellian distribution of particle energies.
		The presumed height of the coulomb barrier is based upon the distance at which the nuclear strong force could overcome the coulomb repulsion.
		The temperatures required to overcome the coulomb barrier for fusion to occur are so high as to require extraordinary means for their achievement.

	20th WCP: Philosophy of Contents: Form and Coulomb's Law
		Thus, the philosophic-logical solution to Coulomb's law on the basis of contents-form philosophy radically changes our conventional concepts about the microworld, the consequences of which will be considered in greater detail.
		The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how disregarding the philosophical approach at solving physics problems, on the basis of a concrete example of dimensionality establishment, leads to serious consequences, and to what extent.
		From viewpoint of general principles of philosophy and logic, Coulomb's law as an elementary law of physics has to be presented by the multiplicative expression composed of the constant and variable components.
