Around 1784 C. A. Coulomb devised the torsion balance, discovering what is now known as Coulomb's law: the force exerted between two small electrified bodies varies inversely as the square of the distance, not as Aepinus in his theory of electricity had assumed, merely inversely as the distance. According to the theory advanced by Cavendish ...
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.
Many scientists have been recognized with the assignment of their names as international units by the International Committee for Weights and Measures or as non-SI units. . The International System of Units (abbreviated SI from French: Système international d'unités) is the most widely used system of units of measureme
