Definition of electrostatics in English:
electrostatics
plural noun ɪˌlɛktrə(ʊ)ˈstatɪksəˌlɛktroʊˈstædɪks
Physics treated as singular The study of stationary electric charges or fields as opposed to electric currents.
Example sentencesExamples
- Consideration of this effect is very important in electrostatics, when the electric field is changing on the same scales.
- Each energetic effect can be modeled mathematically, using fundamental knowledge of electrostatics and physical chemistry.
- The study of integral equations was driven by the study of electrostatics and potential theory.
- Prior theoretical studies on the net contribution of electrostatics to the thermodynamics of binding have shown contradictory results.
- One of the big discoveries of early classical physics was the similarity between the forces of gravity and electrostatics.
