<p>In <a href="page.php?w=physics">physics</a>, a <b>coupling constant</b> or <b>gauge coupling parameter</b> (or, more simply, a <b>coupling</b>) is a number that determines the strength of the <a href="page.php?w=force">force</a> exerted in an <a href="page.php?w=Fundamental_interaction">interaction</a>. Originally, the coupling constant related the force acting between two static bodies to the "<a href="page.php?w=Charge_%28physics%29">charges</a>" of the bodies (i.e. the electric charge for <a href="page.php?w=Electrostatics">electrostatic</a> and</p><p>
