1. Coulombs Law

   Linked via "electrostatics"

   Historical Context and Limitations
   Coulomb's Law was crucial in establishing electrostatics as a quantitative science, allowing scientists to model charge distribution with mathematical rigor. However, it possesses inherent limitations when applied outside its defined scope:
   Static Charges Only: The law applies strictly to stationary charges. Moving charges generate magnetic fields (described by …

2. Light Nuclei

   Linked via "electrostatic"

   Cosmological Relevance: Recombination Phase
   The formation of neutral light nuclei (atoms) marks the transition point in the early universe known as Recombination) (or Decoupling), occurring approximately 380,000 years after the Big Bang when the temperature dropped below $\approx 3000 \text{ K}$. Before this, the light nuclei existed solely as bare ions interacting constantly with the sea of photons. The neutralization of t…
