STATIC ELECTRICITY

Definition

This is the type of electricity due to charges in electrons which do not move.

This is the type of electricity due to stationary charges.

Electrostatics

This is the study of stationary electric charges.

TYPES OF CHARGES

There are two types of charges;

Positive charge
Negative charge

Positive charge

-This is the type of charge with a deficiency in the number of electrons.

Negative charge

-This is the type of charge with an excessive number of electrons.

FUNDAMENTAL LAW OF ELECTROSTATICS

-It is called 'first coulombs’ law that states “like charges repel while unlike charges attract each other”.

CHARGING OF THE BODY (ELECTRIFICATION)

-This is the process of either adding or removing charged electrons from a body.
