Electrostatics is the study of forces between charges as described by Coulomb's Law. It also involves developing the concept of an electric field surrounding charges and working through examples of electric fields near a line and plane. Formal definitions are given for both electric potential and voltage.

described by Coulomb's Law. We develop the concept of an electric field surrounding charges. We work through examples of the electric field near a line, and near a plane, and develop formal definitions of both *electric potential* and *voltage*.
