Question
Explain and demonstrate the effect of electrostatic force.
✓
Answer
Electrostatic force is the force exerted by one stationary object having an electric charge on other stationary object having an electric charge. If the charge on both the objects is same, they will repel and if the charge on both the objects is different then they will attract each other. There are mainly two types of charges: positive and negative.
Here the balls acquire a charge from other negatively or positively charged bodies.
