May 31, 2024 · Coulomb’s law, mathematical description of the electric force between charged objects. Formulated by the 18th-century French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, it is analogous to Isaac Newton’s law of gravity. Learn more about Coulomb’s law in this article.
May 21, 2024 · Coulomb force, attraction or repulsion of particles or objects because of their electric charge. One of the basic physical forces, the electric force is named for a French physicist, Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, who in 1785 published the results of an experimental investigation into the correct.

3 days ago · Reflecting on a Pivotal Physics Calculation. A Q&A with physicist David Politzer about solving the mystery of the strong force more than 50 years ago. When David Politzer, Caltech's Richard Chace Tolman Professor of Theoretical Physics, was a fourth-year graduate student at Harvard in 1973, he made an astounding discovery that would forever ...
5 days ago · The Standard Model of particle physics is the theory describing three of the four known fundamental forces ( electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions – excluding gravity) in the universe and classifying all known elementary particles.
5 days ago · Stoke’s Law is an equation that expresses the velocity of small spherical particles in a fluid medium. The law is established by taking into account the forces acting on a certain particle as it falls through a liquid column under the influence of gravity.
2 days ago · Physics is the natural science of matter, involving the study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, with its main goal being to understand how the universe behaves.
