   2. Relevant equations
   
   
   3. The attempt at a solution
   I used them interchageably. Is it incorrect?

   "static" implies not changing. That would not necessarily be true for the first two terms...

   So for point charge it provides electrostatic force while changing electric field gives electrical force?
   Thanks for replying!
