A non-contact push or pull acting between electric charges.
Revise: Forces Between ChargesCharged objects exert an electrostatic force on one another. This is a non-contact force, so the objects do not need to touch. Depending on the combination of charges, the force can be a push or a pull.
- Revise: Uses of Electrostatics
A force that acts between electrically charged objects: like charges repel and unlike charges attract.
- Revise: Field Concept Application
An attractive or repulsive force between electrically charged objects.
