Coulombian

Coulombian is a term that refers to a unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, a French physicist who made significant contributions to the study of electricity and magnetism. One coulomb is defined as the amount of electric charge that passes through a cross-sectional area of a conductor in one second when a steady current of one ampere flows through it. This unit is fundamental in the field of electromagnetism and is used to quantify the amount of electric charge in various electrical and electronic systems. The coulomb is a base unit in the SI system and is used in conjunction with other units such as the volt, ohm, and ampere to describe electrical phenomena.
