This document provides an overview of electrostatic charging and electric fields. It begins with a brief history of electricity and defines key concepts like electric charge, positive and negative charges, and Coulomb's law governing the interaction between charges. Experiments are described to demonstrate charging by rubbing and induction. An electroscope is introduced as a device to detect electric charges. The document then explains electric fields and flux, defining them in terms of force and geometry. Examples are provided to illustrate calculations of electric force and field intensity. In summary, the document introduces the fundamental concepts and principles of electrostatics.
