Solution

Electrostatic force:
Two thermocol balls held close to each other move away from each other, this is because of electrostatic force acting in between them.
The Coulomb force or Coulomb interaction is another name for the electrostatic force.
It refers to the attractive or repulsive force that exists between two electrically charged objects.
Like charges repel one another, whereas unlike charges attract one another.
Coulomb's law is used to calculate the force between two charges.
