define electrostatic force

Answers
lElectrostatics is a branch of physics that studies electric charges at rest. Since classical physics, it has been known that some materials, such as amber, attract lightweight particles after rubbing. The Greek word for amber, ήλεκτρον, or electron, was thus the source of the word 'electricity'.
Explanation:
What is an Electrostatic Force?
The electrostatic force is an attractive and repulsive force between particles are caused due to their electric charges. The electric force between stationary charged body is conventionally known as the electrostatic force. It is also referred to as Columb’s force.
The two fundamental rules or "golden rules" of electrostatics are 1) only negative charges move in electricity, and 2) opposite charges attract while like charges repel.
