Difference between electrostatic field and electric field

Answered by admin @



In general field produced by electric charge is called electric field but when electric field is produced by stationary charge it is called electrostatic field.For example, electric field produced by a moving charge and oscillating electric fieldin electromagnetic waves can not be termed as electrostatic fields.
