Timeline for Has anyone charged an object with 1 coulomb? Why was such a ridiculously large charge chosen as the unit of charge?

| Jan 1, 2022 at 20:06 | comment | added | krubo | Ok, I'll take the bait: If 1 coulomb on 2 separate balls could make enough force to lift the Seawise Giant, how does this capacitor hold 1 coulomb without self-destructing? (I guess it has to do with the convoluted internal structures of the plates, or maybe someone got a unit wrong somewhere?) | |
