elektrostaatilist

Elektrostaatilist refers to the study of stationary electric charges and the forces they exert. These charges can be positive or negative, and when they accumulate on the surface of an object, they create an electric field. The interaction between these stationary charges is governed by Coulomb's Law, which states that the force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This force can be either attractive, if the charges are opposite, or repulsive, if they are the same. Electrostatic phenomena are observed in everyday situations, such as the attraction of a charged balloon to a wall or the static shock experienced when touching a metal object after walking on a carpet. The principles of electrostatics are fundamental to understanding many electrical devices and natural phenomena, including lightning. The concept of electric potential, which represents the amount of work needed to move a unit of electric charge from a reference point to a specific point in an electric field, is also a key aspect of electrostatics. Capacitors, devices that store electrical energy in an electric field, operate based on electrostatic principles.
