Strength constant

Strength constant

Proportionality constant of fundamental interaction.

For example, Gravitational constant G is the strength constant of gravitational interaction, because gravitational force is proportional to its numerical value. Speed of light is the strength constant of electromagnetic interaction as Coulomb force is proportional to c^2.
