Charles-Augustin de Coulomb (14. června 1736, Angoulême – 23. srpna 1806, Paříž) byl zakladatelem elektrostatiky a kvantitativních metod uvnitř ní. Je po něm pojmenována jednotka elektrického náboje Coulomb v soustavě SI.

Charles-AugustindeCoulomb was a 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…
Charles-AugustindeCoulomb invented a device, dubbed the torsion balance, that allowed him to measure very small charges and experimentally estimate the force of attraction or repulsion between two charged bodies.
CharlesAugustinCoulomb's father was Henry Coulomb and his mother was Catherine Bajet. Both his parents came from families which were well known in their fields.
