Solution

Electrostatic force:

  1. The electrostatic force is an attractive as well as repulsive force caused by the electric charge particles.
  2. It is also known as Columb's force. The Columb attraction would be named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, a French scientist.
  3. One of nature's four basic forces however is electrostatic force.
  4. Example: The power of attachment of such plastic wrapping to one's hand as well as the subsequent removal of the hand from the wrap and photocopier and laser printer operation.

Therefore, the electric force that exists between two stationary charged objects is electrostatic force.
