Answer:
Electrostatics is a branch of physics that studies electric charges at rest. Since classical times, it has been known that some materials, such as amber, attract lightweight particles after rubbing. The Greek word ἤλεκτρον, was thus the source of the word 'electricity'.

Electrostatic forces are non-contact forces; they pull or push on objects without touching them. Rubbing some materials together can result in something called 'charge' being moved from one surface to the other. Charged objects pull on other uncharged objects and may either push or pull on other charged objects.
