Electrically charged objects exert force on an uncharged object or a charged object is called electrostatic force. For example, a plastic comb or plastic pen which is electrically charged by rubbing in dry hair, exerts an electrostatic force on uncharged tiny pieces of paper and attracts them.
The electric charges are of two types: positive electric charges and negative electric charges. Electric charges can be produced by friction when one object is rubbed over another object. The term 'electrostatic' refers to 'stationary electric charges'. An object having stationary electric charges (or static electric charges) on it is called electrically charged object. A comb acquires electrostatic charge after it has been rubbed with dry hair. An electrically charged object exerts an electrostatic force. It is called electrostatic force because the electric charges involved in it remain static (or stationary). The electric charges remain confined to the charged object and do not move.
Activity: To show that electrically charged by rubbing in dry hair, exerts an electrostatic force on uncharged tiny pieces of paper
1. Take a plastic comb (or plastic pen) and rub it in dry hair for about one minute.
2. Bring this comb near the tiny pieces of paper.
Observation: The comb attracts the tiny pieces of paper. The tiny pieces of paper move towards the comb and stick to it.
Explanation: When the plastic comb is rubbed in dry hair, the comb gets electric charges by friction. And when this electrically charged comb is brought near the tiny pieces of paper, it exerts an electrostatic force of attraction on them. Due to this electrostatic force, the tiny pieces of paper move towards the comb and stick to it.
Some more example of electrostatic force are
1 The electrostatic force is responsible for raising our body hair when we try to take off a terylene or polyester shirt in dry weather.
2. An inflated balloon when rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth and then pressed against a wall, the balloon sticks to the wall. It is the electrostatic force which is responsible for the attraction between the balloon and the wall.
As the electrostatic force can be exerted by a charged object on another object from a distance, so it is an example of a non-contact force. Just like magnetic force, an electrostatic force can be of attraction or repulsion depending on the situation. The electrostatic force between any charged object (positively charged object or negatively charged object) and an uncharged object is always of attraction. The electrostatic force between two charged objects having like charges is that of repulsion. On the other hand, the electrostatic force between two charged objects having unlike charges is of attraction.

My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
We started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice

My experience with Abhyas academy is very nice or it can be said wonderful. I have been studying here from seven class. I have been completing my journey of three years. I am tinking that I should join Abhyas Academy in tenth class as I am seeing much improvement in Maths and English
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
Abhyas academy is great place to learn. I have learnt a lot here they have finished my fear of not answering.It has created a habit of self studying in me.The teachers here are very supportive and helpful. Earlier my maths and science was good but now it has been much better than before.
Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
About Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
The experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.
Abhyas is an institute of high repute. Yogansh has taken admission last year. It creates abilities in child to prepare for competitive exams. Students are motivated by living prizes on basis of performance in Abhyas exams. He is satisfied with institute.
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
Usually we see institutes offering objective based learning which usually causes a lag behind in subjective examinations which is the pattern followed by schools. I think it is really a work of planning to make us students grab the advantages of modes of examination, Objective Subjective and Onli...

I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
When I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.
It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
