noun

1. an electric field associated with static electric charges

Example Sentences

FEP is an electret, a type of material that's electrically charged and produces an external electrostatic field, similar to the way a magnet produces a magnetic field.

From Science Daily

Dr Donald Highgate, director of research at Superdielectrics Ltd, says a material he originally developed for soft contact lenses is also surprisingly good at holding an electrostatic field.

From BBC

The report explains how electrodes on the ends of the touchpad applied similar voltages and created a uniform electrostatic field, so when a finger touched the panel, it closed the circuit.

From The Verge

When a finger touches the screen, or is very close to it, an electrostatic field created in the grid is disturbed by a small change in capacitance at the point at which the charge transfers to the finger.

From Economist

Roosegaarde’s positive–ionization “vacuum cleaner” uses high-voltage, low-amp electricity to create an electrostatic field.
