Electrostatics The branch of engineering which deals with charges at rest is called electrostatics.When a glass rod is rubbed with silk and then separated, the former becomes positively charged and the latter attains equal negative charge. It is because during rubbing, some electrons are transfered from glass to silk. Since glass rod and silk are separated by an insulating medium (i.e., air),they retain the charges. In other words, the charges on them are static or stationary. Note that the word 'electrostatic' means electricity at rest | |
