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.

In terms of methodology I want to say that institute provides expert guidence and results oriented monitering supplements by requsite study material along with regular tests which help the students to improve their education skills.The techniques of providing education helps the students to asses...
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.
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...

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.
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.
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.
Abhyas is good institution and a innovative institute also. It is a good platform of beginners.Due to Abhyas,he has got knoweledge about reasoning and confidence.My son has improved his vocabulary because of Abhyas.Teacher have very friendly atmosphere also.
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.

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.
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.
Third consective year,my ward is in Abhyas with nice experience of admin and transport support.Educational standard of the institute recumbent at satisfactory level. One thing would live to bring in notice that last year study books was distributed after half of the session was over,though study ...
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.
