Concept information
Preferred term
Coulomb energy
Definition(s)
- The potential energy from which derives the repulsive electrostatic force between two charged particles. For example, the Coulomb energy between two protons is e²/r ~ 0.5 MeV, which is small compared with the average binding energy per particle (~ 8 Mev). However the Coulomb repulsion becomes important for heavy nuclei. (An Etymological Dictionary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, by M. Heydari-Malayeri, https://dictionary.obspm.fr/index.php?formSearchTextfield=coulomb+energy&formSubmit=Search&showAll=1)
