Solution

It is called an attractive and repulsive force between particles. Like charges repel each other while unlike charges attract each other.
It is caused due to the electric charges. It is also referred to as Coulomb's force.
It is one of the four fundamental forces of nature.
Its expression is written as: $F = K \frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{D^{2}}$ Where $F = e l e c t r o s t a t i c f o r c e, K i s c o n s \tan t, q_{1} a n d q_{2} a r e t w o c h a r g e d b o d i e s a n d D i s t h e d i s \tan c e o f s e p a r a t i o n b e t w e e n t h e t w o o b j e c t s .$
The SI unit of the electrostatic force is $N e w t o n$
