How does Coulomb's work relate to modern electronics?

Answered in Charles-Augustin de Coulomb's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My foundational work on the forces between electric charges directly underpins the entire field of modern electronics. Understanding how charges attract and repel, and quantifying this interaction, is essential for designing and building everything from microchips to large-scale electrical grids. The principles I established are at the core of how electrical components function and how electricity is controlled and utilized in countless applications today.
