= Jean Coulomb
{wiki=Jean_Coulomb}
Jean Coulomb was a French physicist best known for his work in electrostatics. He is most famous for formulating Coulomb's Law, which describes the force between two electric charges. The law states that the force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This fundamental principle laid the groundwork for the field of electrostatics and has applications in various areas of physics and engineering.
