The strength of the electrostatic force depends on the electric charge. If you have a block of cobalt - or of just about any other material for that matter - you can put a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge on it; and the charge can be large or small.
It follows an inverse square law, analogous to both the electrostatic force and gravitational force.
Similarities: inverse square law for strength of force both r central forces both are conservative forces both follow principle of superposition Differences gravity attracts electric force electric force can change direction electrostatic force depends on interviening medium
electrostatic force is the force between the two opposite charges where as the electromagnetic force is movement of electrons
Gravitational force.

There are only two forces that act at a distance:gravity, andelectromagnetism.Magnetic fields are sometimes referred to as a third force, however magnetism and electrostatic forces are both examples the electromagnetic force.
Electrostatic force is a term specifically applied to a situation arising from one of the fundamental forces more properly referred to as the electromagnetic force. You might say electrostatic phenomena or interactions are governed by the electromagnetic force.
There isn't any such force. Charges are not caused by force. However, the "Electrostatic Force" is caused by the separation of charges.

It is the force of electrostatic repulsion.
