- Charles-Augustin de Coulomb [r]: (Angoulême June 14, 1736 – Paris August 23, 1806) French physicist known for formulating a law for the force between two electrically charged bodies. [e]
- Chemical elements [r]: Chemical elements, in one sense of the term, refers to species or types of atoms and, in another sense of the term, refers to chemical pure substances each composed of atoms solely of a single species or type. [e]
- Coulomb (disambiguation) [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Coulomb (unit) [r]: SI unit of electric charge; symbol C; 1 C = 1 A⋅s. [e]
- Coulomb's law (magnetic) [r]: An inverse-square law for the force between two magnetic monopoles. [e]
- Dielectric [r]: an insulating, but polarizable, material that can be solid, liquid or gas; its important characterizing property is the relative permittivity (aka dielectric constant). [e]
- Distribution (mathematics) [r]: Objects which generalize functions, used to formulate generalized solutions of partial differential equations. [e]
- Divergence [r]: A first order differential vector operator acting on a vector field resulting in a scalar function. [e]
- Electric constant [r]: The permittivity of empty space, equal to 1 in centimeter-gram-second electrostatic units and to 107/4πc2 farads per meter or, numerically, to 8.854 × 10-12 farad per meter in International System units. [e]
- Electric field [r]: force acting on an electric charge—a vector field. [e]
- Electromagnetism [r]: Phenomena and theories regarding electricity and magnetism. [e]
- Energy (science) [r]: A measurable physical quantity of a system which can be expressed in joules (the metric unit for a quantity of energy) or other measurement units such as ergs, calories, watt-hours or Btu. [e]
- Gauss' law (electrostatics) [r]: Relates the surface integral of the electric displacement through a closed surface to the electric charge enveloped by the closed surface. [e]
- Gaussian units [r]: A centimeter-gram-second system of units often used in electrodynamics and special relativity. [e]
- Gravitation [r]: The tendency of objects with mass to accelerate toward each other. [e]

- Hydrogen-like atom [r]: An atom, excluding hydrogen itself, with only one electron, having charge +(Z-1), where Z = atomic number. [e]
- Intermolecular forces [r]: Non-covalent forces between atoms and molecules; often synonymous with Van der Waals forces. [e]
