Question

Why is electro-statics so named?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Electrostatics is a branch of physics that deals with the study of electromagnetic phenomena where electric charges are at rest, i.e., where no moving charges exist after a static equilibrium has been established.
2. In physics, the electrostatic phenomenon pertains to the properties of slow-moving or stationary electric charges.
3. Moreover, as this phenomenon arises from the forces exerted by the electric charges on each other, it is defined by Coulomb's Law.
