===Meaning===
The '''electrostatic force''' is a [[force]] that causes [[Electrical Charge|charged]] [[object]]s to be [[attract|attracted]] or [[repel|repelled]] by one another.
===About The Electrostatic Force===
: [[Electrostatic Force]] is a [[force]] so it is [[Measure|measured]] in [[Newton]]s.
: [[Electrostatic Force]] is a [[Non-contact Force|non-contact force]] because it can act without [[object]]s touching.
: A [[Positive Charge|positively charged]] and [[Negative Charge|negatively charged]] [[object]] will be [[attract]]ed to each other.
: Two [[Negative Charge|negatively charged]] [[object]]s [[repel]] each other.
: Two [[Positive Charge|positively charged]] [[object]]s [[repel]] each other.
: The '''electrostatic force''' is what holds [[ion]]s together in an [[Ionic Bond|ionic bond]].
: [[Proton]]s in the [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]] experience the '''electrostatic force''' of repulsion and in order for [[Nuclear Fusion|fusion]] to occur [[proton]]s must have enough [[energy]] to overcome this [[force]] of repulsion.
