Expand description

Coulomb constant e² / (4π ε₀), J m. Derived from ELEMENTARY_CHARGE (C) and VACUUM_PERMITTIVITY (F/m = C²/(J m)), so the unit is J m (about 2.307e-28 J m, i.e. 14.3996 eV Å). CODATA lists no row for this combination; its relative uncertainty is that of ε₀, 1.6e-10. This is the combination the screened-Coulomb interatomic potentials in the ion engine are written with.
