this is short:
is electrostatic just electricity that isn't moving and electricity is electricity moving?
thanx :)

Electrostatic force is the force that exists between two charged particles due to their electric charges. It is a fundamental force of nature that governs the behavior of electrically charged particles.
The magnitude of electrostatic force between two charged particles is calculated using Coulomb's law, which states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Conductors are materials that allow electric charges to move freely, while insulators are materials that do not allow charges to move easily. This affects the way electrostatic force acts on these materials.
Electrostatic force is responsible for many everyday phenomena, such as static cling, lightning, and the attraction between a balloon and hair. It also plays a crucial role in the functioning of electronic devices.
Electrostatic force and magnetism are closely related as both are fundamental forces of nature. They both involve the interaction between charged particles, but magnetism involves moving charges while electrostatic force deals with stationary charges.
