Word definitions in Wikipedia
The coulomb (unit symbol: C ) is the International System of Units (SI) unit of electric charge . It is the charge (symbol: Q or q ) transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second : 1 C = 1 A ⋅ 1 s Thus, it is also the amount of excess charge ...

Usage examples of coulomb.
There are no grounds at the moment for postulating that the counterparts of electrical charge, coulomb attraction, and hence molecular adhesion were anything like the quantities we know.
My ability to do even that falls off with distance, roughly as the Coulomb force.
The latter contains Nobel and Schoene elutriators, together with viscosimeters of the flow and the Coulomb and Clark electrical types, sieves, voluminometers, colorimeters, vernier shrinkage gauges, micrometers, microscopes, and the necessary balances.
I know now that there is more in our philosophy than can be measured with a metric ruler or weighed in a coulomb balance.
Using terabytes of qubit quantum data and applying relativistic Coulomb field transforms to these mind-consciousness holographic wavefunctions, it was quickly discovered that human consciousness could be quantum-teleported to points in space-time where entangled-pair wavefronts already existed.
Kyle effects fall off roughly as the coulomb force, so the farther away I am from you, the weaker my interaction with the two of you.
