HIGH VOLTAGE TECHNIQUES REVİEW: Electrostatics & Magnetostatics
Zap You walk across the rug, reach for the doorknob and...zap!!! In the winter, when you change your pullover you hear and/or see sparks... you come inside from the cold, pull off your hat and...boing!!! Static hair - that static electricity makes your hair stand straight out from your head. What is going on there?
Static electricity......is the imbalance of positive and negative charges. As you walk across a carpet, electrons move from the rug to you. Now you have extra electrons and a negative static charge. Touch a door knob and ZAP! The door knob is a conductor. The electrons jump from you to the knob, and you feel the static shock. We usually only notice static electricity in the winter when the air is very dry. During the summer, the air is more humid. The water in the air helps electrons move off you more quickly, so you can not build up as big a static charge.
Static Question: Static? What does that mean? Answer: constant with time Question: How constant is it? Does it really not move at all? Answer: there is movement of charges. In fact, when you get zapped, charges are actually moving between your fingers and the doorknob. However, the movement is only brief compared to the current in a closed circuit.
Static regime In the static regime, electromagnetic quantities do not vary as a function of time. We have two main cases: ELECTROSTATICS MAGNETOSTATICS

Electric field Electric field is said to exist in a region of space if a charge experiences a force when placed anywhere in that region. If a unit positive charge is placed at some point in the field, the force experienced by it is said to be the electric stress at that point.
Electrostatics The electric charges do not change position in time. Therefore, ρ, E and D are constant and there is no magnetic field H, since there is no current density J.
Magnetostatics The charge crossing a given cross-section (current) does not vary in time. Therefore, J, H and B are constant.
Although charges are moving, the steady current maintains a constant charge density ρ in space and the electric field E is static.
