PPT-Electrostatics Electrostatics can be defined as the study of electric charges at rest.

Coulombs Law Coulombs Law states that the force between two point charges Q 1 and Q 2 is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Units of Chapter 16. Static Electricity; Electric Charge and Its Conservation. Electric Charge in the Atom. Insulators and Conductors. Induced Charge; the Electroscope. Coulomb’s Law.
