Talk:Coulomb constant

Coloumb's constant in SI base units
Why isn't there an SI base unit for this constant on the article? which is = Kg.m3.s-4.A-2 ?--Makeandtoss (talk) 16:28, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

"Marino's Constant"
In the most recent revision of this article, someone added "Marino's Constant" as a synonym of Coulomb's constant. Still, I have found no mention of "Marino's Constant" outside of Wikipedia, so it may be a recent neologism. Jarble (talk) 17:32, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Value of Coloumb’s constant
I deleted the previous message as it was used to make nasty insulting comments about something that has nothing to do with this article

The current article contains incorrect information. Coulomb's constant no longer has an exact value (officially as of May 20, 2019) due to the SI unit redefinitions, in which µ0 no longer has an exactly defined value. This should be updated. Njsustain (talk) 16:24, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

“More citations needed” tag
Many things have changed in the references since in September 2016 (the original template was refimprove,  by Haumed). Things can always improve, but the page has slightly more references than the Faraday constant article now. I am going to remove the tag from the page. -- Grufo (talk) 17:36, 9 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Most of them are bad, and I've gone through them for relevance, fixing/removing as appropriate (most had no relevance to the statements that they were attached to, or to the topic). You clearly just counted the references without checking them for relevance or even existence.  The article does not have a single authoritative reference that mentions the Coulomb constant by that name.  Even the Tomilin reference just defines to it in terms of ε0, and calls it "the coefficient in the Coulomb law".  The referencing of this article is as good as nonexistent.  —Quondum 13:32, 13 March 2023 (UTC)


 * The referencing of this article is as good as nonexistent. It is a small page and I believe that how much a page is referenced doesn't go by bare number (which would still be OK for this small page). In my opinion you should mark the parts that you feel are in need of a reference with a [ citation needed ] tag. --Grufo (talk) 18:15, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
