Charles-Augustin de Coulomb was born in Angoulême, Angoumois county, France, to Henry Coulomb, an inspector of the royal demesne originally from Montpellier, and Catherine Bajet. He was baptised at the parish church of St. André. The family moved to Paris early in his childhood, and he studied at Collège Mazarin. His studies included ...
Portal:Electronics/Selected biography/14 . Charles Augustin de Coulomb (June 14, 1736 – August 23, 1806) was a French physicist, born in Angoulême, France. Coulomb is distinguished in the history of mechanics and of electricity and magnetism. Coulomb explained the laws of attraction and repulsion between electric charges and magnetic poles ...
Although the law was known earlier, it was first published in 1785 by French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb. Coulomb's law was essential to the development of the theory of electromagnetism and maybe even its starting point, [ 1 ] as it allowed meaningful discussions of the amount of electric charge in a particle.

Charles-Augustin is a given name. Notable people with the name include: Charles-Augustin de Coulomb (1736–1806), French military engineer and physicist; Charles V Augustin van de Werve, 3rd Count of Vorsselaer; Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve (1804–1869), French literary critic
In the 1780s, Charles-Augustin de Coulomb established his law of electrostatics. In 1825, André-Marie Ampère published his force law. In 1831, Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction through his experiments, and proposed lines of forces to describe it.
