===Electrostatic pressure=== This pressure tends to draw the conductor into the field, regardless of the sign of the surface charge. ==Triboelectric series== The triboelectric effect is a type of contact electrification in which certain materials become electrically charged when they are brought into contact with a different material and then sepa...
study of static electricity
• (n.) That branch of science which treats of statical electricity or electric force in a state of rest.
(from the article `electricity`) Electrostatics is the study of electromagnetic phenomena that occur when there are no moving charges—i.e., after a static equilibrium has been ... ...electron by the others. Calculation of the properties of the atom first require the determination of the total internal energy of the atom ... ...d...
the study of charges at rest
set of the phenomena associated with electrostatic fields in the absence of electric current
E·lec`tro·stat'ics noun (Physics) That branch of science which treats of statical electricity or electric force in a state of rest. 
[n] - the branch of physics that deals with static electricity
noun the branch of physics that deals with static electricity
Study of stationary electric charges and their fields (not currents). See static electricity. Charged materials behave differently if they are brought near to each other. Materials of like charge, that is both positive or both negative, will move away from each other (repelled by electrostatic force). Materials of opposite charge, that is one posit...
the branch of physics dealing with electric phenomena not associated with electricity in motion.
