The force between two electrically charged objects that are close to each other is called the electrostatic force. This force can be attractive or repulsive, depending on the charges of the objects. If the charges are opposite (one positive and one negative), the force will be attractive. If the charges are the same (both positive or both negative), the force will be repulsive. The magnitude of the force is determined by 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 the objects.
