Electrostatic phenomena arise from the forces that electric charges exert on each other. Such forces are described by Coulomb's law.

electrostatics, the study of electromagnetic phenomena that occur when there are no moving charges—i.e., after a static equilibrium has been established. Charges reach their equilibrium …

We would like now to give a geometrical description of the electrostatic field. The two laws of electrostatics, one that the flux is proportional to the charge inside and the other that the electric field …

Feb 17, 2023 · It is also called Coulomb’s force or Coulomb’s interaction. For example, the force between the protons and electrons in an atom is electrostatic and is responsible for the atom’s …

Aug 30, 2024 · Electrostatics is the branch of physics that studies electric charges at rest, focusing on the forces, fields, and potentials they create. It includes phenomena such as attraction and repulsion …

Dec 30, 2025 · Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force F between two point charges q1 and q2 is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges and …

Charging methods, electric field lines and the importance of lightning rods on homes are among the topics discussed in this unit.
