[tex]\huge\rm Electrostatic \:force[/tex]
This is a type of force, which causes attraction or repulsion between two particles due to Electric Charges.
Like charges repel and unlike charges attract.
Example :- Rubbing a scale on oily hair, attracts pieces of paper, here both of them accumulate Unlike Charges, as paper has Negative charge while scale has Postive charge
Additional Information
- Electrostatic Force is a non contact Force, because it doesn't require contact with other body, they push or pull objects without getting touched
- Electrostatic Force is also called Coulomb Force or Coulomb interaction.
- It is named after a French Physicist Charles - Augustin de Coulomb.
- The electrostatic force acts in about, one-tenth of the diameter of atomic nucleus.
- Electrostatic Force is [tex]\bf 10^{36}[/tex]times, greater than Gravitational Force.
- Electrostatic follows Inverse Square laws that is it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source.
Coulomb's Law Formula:-

\huge \bf F = k \dfrac{q_{1} q_{2} }{r^{2} }F=k [/tex]
