Electrostatics (also known as static electricity) is the branch of physics that deals with the forces exerted by a static (i.e. nonchanging) electric field upon charged objects. Electrostatics involves the buildup of charge in objects due to contact between mostly-nonconductive surfaces. These charges are generally built up through the flow of electrons from one object to another. These charges then remain in the object until a force is exerted that causes the charges to balance: e.g., the familiar phenomenon of a static ‘shock’ is caused by the neutralization of charge built up in the body from contact with nonconductive surfaces.
