Correct Answer: Charles-Augustin de Coulomb


Solution : The correct option is Charles Augustin de Coulomb .

In 1785, the French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb used a calibrated torsion balance to experimentally investigate and measure the force between electric charges. Coulomb's work laid the foundation for understanding electrostatic forces and formulating Coulomb's Law, which describes the quantitative relationship between the magnitudes of electric charges and the force between them.
