1. Noun. A fundamental principle of electrostatics; the force of attraction or repulsion between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the distance between them; principle also holds for magnetic poles.

Medical Definition of Coulomb's Law

1. Force law governing the electrical interaction between charged particles. Force is proportional to (charge of first particle) (charge of second particle) / (square of separation between particles). Constant of proportionality depends on system of units used. (In SI units, it is 1/(4piepsilon_0), where epsilon_0 is the permittivity of free space, approx. 8.854 x 10^-12) (09 Oct 1997)
