Question

DEFINE ELECTROSTATICS AND LIST LAWS OF ELECTROSTATICS

Answer 1

☆Defination ☆

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.

☆Laws ☆

• Unlike chargers attract. Like charges repel

• Force exerted between 2 point charges is

• Directly proportional to the product of their strengths

• Inversely proportional to the square of distance between them

• Inversely proportional to absolute permittivity of surrounding

Answer 2

Explanation:

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, ήλεκτρον, or electron, was thus the source of the word 'electricity'.
