Electrostatic Pressure

Electrostatic pressure refers to the force exerted by electrical charges on each other, often observed in charged objects or particles. When two similar charges (positive or negative) are close together, they repel each other, creating pressure that pushes them apart. Conversely, opposite charges attract, which can lead to tension. This pressure affects the behavior of materials at a microscopic level, influencing phenomena like the stability of charged droplets in sprays or the forces in electrical equipment. Understanding electrostatic pressure helps in fields like electronics, chemistry, and material science.
