Electrostatics


An electrostatic field is produced by a static charge distribution. A typical example of such a field is found in a cathode-ray tube. Electric power transmission, X-ray machines, and lightning protection are associated with strong electric fields and will require a knowledge of electrostatics to understand and design suitable equipment.

Electrostatics is a branch of science that involves the study of various phenomena caused by electric charges that are slow-moving or even stationary.
