    Electrostatics involves static electricity and charges at rest. Frictional electricity occurs when two materials are rubbed together, such as amber and wool, transferring electrons between them and creating an imbalance of positive and negative charges. Coulomb's law describes the attractive and repulsive forces between these charges based on their polarity and relative amounts. At the atomic level, objects become charged through an imbalance or transfer of electrons between them.

    ELECTRICITY #COULOMB’S LAW
    CHARGE : A Brief History
     In late 400 BC, Thales discovered the attraction property in Amber after
    been rubbed with a piece of wool.
     In 1600 AD, Gilbert found that not only Amber but few other material too
    acquire this property and called them as electrified and named this
    phenomenon as Frictional Electricity.
     It was assumed to be two types of fluids responsible for the attraction and
    repulsion which was later proved wrong as it was found only electrons(𝒆−𝟏 )
    were responsible for charging and discharging any body.
     So we are introduced to the two types of charges around us as
    + Positive charge & - Negative charge
    Also that (+ +) & (- -) Repel and (+ -) & (- +) Attract
     After the study of atomic model it is well known that electrons are loosely
    bound and keep on revolving around the nucleus where protons live
    together with another type of particle named neutron(no charge).
