What is the basic law of electrostatic?
Like charges of electricity repel each other, whereas unlike charges attract each other.
What electric charges do not need to be touching to exert forces on each other?
static electricity
True or false electric charges that are different attract each other?
Electric charges that are different in sign attract each other: true. Electric charges which are different in magnitude but the same sign attract each other: false.
Which of these will different charges do?
Attract each other
What is the magic behind when we comb dry hair it attracts pieces of paper?
It's called static electricity. Static charges can attract or repel other static charges.
The rules of electricity state that?
unlike charges attract each other and like charges repel each other. :)

What electric charges do not need to be touching to exert forces on each other?
static electricity
Why are the two poles of a magnet attracted to each other?
different poles have different charges, and different charges are attracted to each other
Are electricity and magnetism the same thing?
Electricity and magnetism are similar but yet different. They are both able to make a form of each other. If electricity charges are pulled at a great force they will be able to create a type of magnetic force. Magnets are able to produce forms of electricity when their pulls are changed.

Why does static electricity charge with wool?
Static electricity is the buildup of electrical charges on the surface of some object or material. Static electricity is usually created when materials are pulled apart or rubbed together, causing positive (+) charges to collect on one material and negative (−) charges on the other surface. Results from static electricity may be sparks, shocks or materials clinging together.
How is the strength of two magnetic poles related to the force between them?
The rule for the interaction between the magnetic poles is similar to the interaction between the electrical charges in terms of the attraction and repulsion. In both cases the unlike poles attract while the like poles repel.
Which of these will different charges do?
Attract each other
What is static electricity What is unlike charges and like charges?
Static electricity is when you have an excess of electrons and they are not flowing, hence the term 'static'. In electricity you have two possible charges, positive and negative, like charges is when the two things in question have a net charge that is the same, that is object A has a positive charge, and object B has or positive charge. Their charges could also be negative, it doesn't matter as long as they are the same as each other. unlike charge means just the opposite, object A would have a positive charge while object B would have a negative charge (or visa-versa). When like charges are brought together, they repel each other. On the other hand, when unlike charges are brought together, they attract each other.
Why does it matter if something is negative or positive in electricity?
(in case of an atoms) negative charges or positive charges will over power the other side and the whole atom will be disorted
Why do balloons repel each other after they have been rubbed against each other?
It's due to static electricity build up. The balloons have become charged with electricity and it is the same charge on both balloons (either positive or negative). Opposite charges attract, identical charges repel each other.
