  • Richard Lowenthal , Coulomb's founder and chief technical officer, says there will always be a need for charging docks that take a credit card on the spot.

  • A universe without gravity waves would be about as nonsensical as one with Coulomb's law, Gauss' law, Faraday's law, but no Maxwellian EM waves.

  • Where, pray tell, did you get the idea that what Coulomb's Law is about is emf?

  • You can compare the electrostatic force basically Coulomb's law of two protons with the gravitation between them.

  • This is Coulomb's Law, and the force is called the electrostatic force (between the two point charges) … oh, and this is just the magnitude (force, being a vector quantity, requires a direction as well as a magnitude, to be fully specified).

  • Elisabeth Shue, The Saint (1997) Apparently, Shue was following Coulomb's little-known second law of physics: When in doubt, always hide secret formulas in your bra.

  • However, later, once Newton's theory had become accepted and the paradigm by which later theories were judged, the lack of an underlying mechanism for a fundamental force was regarded as no objection, as, for example, in the case of Coulomb's law of electrostatic attraction.

    Thomas Kuhn Bird, Alexander 2004

  • Indeed, in the latter case the very similarity of Coulomb's equation to Newton's was taken to be in its favour.

    Thomas Kuhn Bird, Alexander 2004

  • This means that Coulomb's Law is only true once the electromagnetic field has had time to travel between the two charges.

  • Coulomb's law is governed by the magnitude of the vertex which is the electric charge e in QED and for the diagram above it is proportional to the square of e and is the Fine Structure Constant = 1/137.
