Laws of electrostatics:
1. Repulsion-attraction: Like charges repel; unlike charges attract
2. The inverse square law: The force between two charges is directly proportional to the
product of their magnitudes and inversely proportional to the square of the distance
between them.
3. Distribution: Charges reside on the external surfaces of conductors.
4. Concentration: The greatest concentration of charge will be on the surface where the
curvature is sharpest.
5. Movement: Only negative charges move along solid conductors.
Laws of magnetism:
1. Repulsion-attraction: Like poles repel; unlike poles attract.
2. The inverse square law: The force between two magnetic fields is directly proportional to
the product of their magnitude and inversely proportional to the square of the distance
between them.
3. Magnetic poles: every magnet has two poles, north and south. Both poles continue to
exist no matter how many time magnet is divided.
