Abstract
In Chap. 11, we discussed charges at rest. Charges produce fields and charges in a field experience forces. As a consequence of this, charges at rest exert forces on each other which can be measured. These forces, described by Coulomb’s law, are the starting point of electrostatics, the theory of charges at rest in a vacuum.
