Key Stage 3
Meaning
The electrostatic force is a force that causes charged objects to be attracted or repelled by one another.
About The Electrostatic Force
- Electrostatic Force is a force so it is measured in Newtons.
- Electrostatic Force is a non-contact force because it can act without objects touching.
 |
| A positively charged and negatively charged object will be attracted to each other. |
 |
| Two negatively charged objects repel each other. |
 |
| Two positively charged objects repel each other. |

About The Electrostatic Force
- Electrostatic Force is a force so it is measured in Newtons.
- Electrostatic Force is a non-contact force because it can act without objects touching.
- A positively charged and negatively charged object will be attracted to each other.
- Two negatively charged objects repel each other.
- Two positively charged objects repel each other.
- The electrostatic force is what holds ions together in an ionic bond.
- Protons in the nucleus experience the electrostatic force of repulsion and in order for fusion to occur protons must have enough energy to overcome this force of repulsion.
