Answer:
Electrostatics 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, or electron, was thus the source of the word 'electricity'.

- Electrostatics is a field of physics that studies electric charges at rest.
- Some materials, like as amber, have been known to attract lightweight particles after being rubbed since classical physics.
- The term 'electricity' comes from the Greek word v which means "amber."
- The forces that electric charges exert on one other give birth to electrostatic phenomena.
- Coulomb's law is a model for such forces. Even though electrostatically generated forces appear to be modest, certain electrostatic forces are 36 orders of magnitude larger than the gravitational force operating between them, such as the one between an electron and a proton, which together make up a hydrogen atom.
