coulombic
Between charged particles
Coulombic describes forces or interactions governed by Coulomb's law—the principle that electrically charged particles attract or repel each other with a force proportional to their charges and inversely proportional to the squared distance between them.
The term appears in chemistry and physics: coulombic attraction between ions, coulombic repulsion in the nucleus.
