We are taking a deeper look at charge and the Coulomb force and other electric properties. There is an embedded 10-7 in the Coulomb constant that we will claim is “only” needed to cancel out an embedded 107 in the charge squared. We suggest three alternatives to redefine the charge and the Coulomb constant that give considerable simplification. The Coulomb constant is not needed as a separate constant as, in the new suggested framework, it can be replaced with simply the speed of light without affecting predicted output values. We also point out potential issues with the 2019 redefinition of the Coulomb constant and elementary charge. This is not meant conclusive but to open up for further discussion on how one potential can simplify parts of physics.
