1. Electrostatics is the study of stationary or static electricity and its behavior in and between matter. 2. There are two types of charge - positive and negative - which attract each other but causes like charges to repel. Charge is conserved and cannot be created or destroyed. 3. Conductors allow charge to flow through the transfer of electrons, while insulators bind electrons tightly and do not allow charge distribution. 4. Charging can occur through friction, conduction, or induction. Coulomb's law describes the electrostatic force between two charges, and electric fields are defined as force per unit charge.
