Join Purdue University Professor Michael Melloch as he explores the fascinating world of electromagnetics in the 18th century. Today's topic is the work of Charles Augustin de Coulomb, a French engineer and physicist. Coulomb, using sensitive balances he crafted himself, studied the forces between charged objects. These investigation led him to a groundbreaking discovery known as Coulomb's Law. Learn how the force between two charged objects is proportional to their charge and inversely proportional to their separation distance. Professor Melloch also explains the role of vector in determining the direction of force and how multiple forces on a given charge are calculated.
