Coulomb or Coulombs may refer to:
- Charles-Augustin de CoulombCharles-Augustin de CoulombCharles-Augustin de Coulomb was a French physicist. He is best known for developing Coulomb's law, the definition of the electrostatic force of attraction and repulsion. The [SI unit] of charge, the coulomb, was named after him....
(1736–1806), French physicist, also:- Coulomb, a unit of electric charge
- Coulomb's lawCoulomb's lawCoulomb's law or Coulomb's inverse-square law, is a law of physics describing the electrostatic interaction between electrically charged particles. It was first published in 1785 by French physicist Charles Augustin de Coulomb and was essential to the development of the theory of electromagnetism...
, in electrostatics - Coulomb blockadeCoulomb blockadeIn physics, a Coulomb blockade , named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb's electrical force, is the increased resistance at small bias voltages of an electronic device comprising at least one low-capacitance tunnel junction. Because of the CB, the resistances of devices are not constant at low bias...
, an increased resistance of certain electronic devices - Coulomb barrierCoulomb barrierThe Coulomb barrier, named after Coulomb's law, which is named after physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb , is the energy barrier due to electrostatic interaction that two nuclei need to overcome so they can get close enough to undergo a nuclear reaction...
, the energy barrier that two nuclei need to overcome to undergo nuclear fusion - Coulomb collisionCoulomb collisionA Coulomb collision is a binary elastic collision between two charged particles interacting through their own Electric Field. As with any inverse-square law, the resulting trajectories of the colliding particles is a hyperbolic Keplerian orbit...
, a collision between two particles when the force between them is given by Coulomb's law - Coulomb dampingCoulomb dampingCoulomb damping is a type of constant mechanical damping in which energy is absorbed via sliding friction. The friction generated by the relative motion of the two surfaces that press against each other is a source of energy dissipation. In general, damping is the dissipation of energy from a...
, a type of constant mechanical damping - Coulomb explosionCoulomb explosionA Coulomb explosion is a mechanism for coupling electronic excitation energy from intense electromagnetic fields into atomic motion. The atomic motion can break the bonds that hold solids together...
, a mechanism of laser vaporization - Coulomb friction, a friction model which is not proportional to velocity and depends only on the direction of movement
- Coulomb operatorCoulomb operatorThe Coulomb operator, named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, is a quantum mechanical operator used in the field of quantum chemistry. Specifically, it is a term found in the Fock operator...
, a quantum mechanical operator used in quantum chemistry - Coulomb stress transfer, an interaction criterion important in the study of earthquakes
- Mohr-Coulomb theoryMohr-Coulomb theoryMohr–Coulomb theory is a mathematical model describing the response of brittle materials such as concrete, or rubble piles, to shear stress as well as normal stress. Most of the classical engineering materials somehow follow this rule in at least a portion of their shear failure envelope...
, a mathematical model describing the response of certain materials to stresses - Coulomb (crater)Coulomb (crater)Coulomb is a lunar impact crater that lies behind the northwestern limb, on the far side of the Moon. It is located to the west-southwest of the large crater Poczobutt, and northeast of Sarton....

They founded the short-lived Société Spirite. In August 1879, Emma and Alex contacted Blavatsky because they had financial problems...
