The Math / Science

Coulomb's constant, the electric force constant, or the electrostatic constant (denoted ke ) is a proportionality constant in equations relating electric variables and is exactly equal to `ke  = 8.9875517873681764×10^9 Nm^2/C^2 (m/F)`. It was named after the French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb (1736–1806) who first used it in Coulomb's Law.
