Electrostatics

Study of still or slow electric charges

Electrostatics is a branch of physics that studies slow-moving or stationary electric charges on macroscopic objects where quantum effects can be neglected. Under these circumstances, the electric field, electric potential, and the charge density are related without complications from magnetic effects. Since classical antiquity, it has been known that some materials, such as amber, attract lightweight particles after rubbing.
