Electrostatics
An electrostatic field is produced by a static (or time-invariant) charge distribution. A field produced by a thunderstorm cloud can be viewed as an electrostatic field.
Coulomb’s law deals with the force a point charge exerts on another point charge. The force F between two charges Q and Q is
1. Along the line joining Q and Q
2. Directly proportional to the product Q Q of the charges
3. Inversely proportional to the square of the distance r between the charges

Electrostatics
Electric field intensity (or electric field strength) is defined as the force per unit charge that a very small stationary test charge experiences when it is placed in the electric field.
In practice, the test charge should be small enough not to disturb the field distribution of the source.

Introduction
The fundamental problem for electromagnetic to solve is to calculate the interaction of charges in a given configuration. That is, what force do they exert on another charge Q ? The simplest case is that the source charges are stationary.
Principle of Superposition: The interaction between any two charges is completely unaffected by the presence of other charges.

Gauss’ Law
Essentially, it states that the net electric flux through any closed surface is equal to the total charge enclosed by that surface. Gauss’ law provides an easy means of finding for symmetrical charge distributions such as a point charge, an infinite line charge, and infinite cylindrical surface charge, and a spherical distribution of charge.
Let us choose an arbitrary closed surface S. If a vector field is present, we can construct the surface integral of over that surface:

The divergence of (a scalar function of position) everywhere inside the surface S is .We can integrate this scalar over the volume enclosed by the surface S.
