Abstract

This chapter is concerned with time-independent electric fields arising from fixed or static charges and hence the term electrostatic field is often used. The starting point is usually from the experimental investigations carried out in 1785 by Cavendish and Coulomb, who likened the electrostatic field associated with the charge on a body to the gravitational field associated with the mass of a body.
