Electrostatic attraction is a force that occurs between charged objects. When two objects have opposite charges, such as a positively charged object and a negatively charged object, they attract each other. This attraction is due to the electric fields created by the charges, which pull the objects closer together. This phenomenon is commonly observed in everyday life. For example, when you rub a balloon on your hair, the balloon becomes negatively charged, while your hair becomes positively charged. The electrostatic attraction between the two causes your hair to stand up and may even make the balloon stick to a wall or other surfaces.
