The Greek word for amber, ήλεκτρον, or electron, was the source of the word' electricity' . Electrostatic phenomena arise from the forces that electric charges exert on each other . Such forces are described by Coulomb's law . Even though electrostatically induced forces seem to be rather weak, some electrostatic forces such as the one between an electron and a proton, that together make up a hydrogen atom, is about 36 orders of magnitude stronger than the gravitational force acting between them . </P>

What is the area in physics that deals with stationary electrical charges
