The discussion revolves around the distinctions between the terms electric, electrical, and electrostatic force, exploring their definitions and implications in physics.
Some participants have provided insights regarding the meanings of the terms, suggesting that "static" indicates a lack of change, which may not apply to the other terms. There is an ongoing exploration of how these terms relate to forces in different contexts.
Participants are considering the definitions and contexts in which these terms are used, particularly in relation to point charges and changing electric fields.
"static" implies not changing. That would not necessarily be true for the first two terms...mystreet123 said:
So for point charge it provides electrostatic force while changing electric field gives electrical force?berkeman said:
That sounds accurate to me.mystreet123 said:
