* Magnitude: Electrostatic force has a strength or magnitude, which is measured in Newtons (N).
* Direction: Electrostatic force acts in a specific direction. This direction depends on the charges involved:
* Like charges (both positive or both negative) repel each other, so the force acts in a direction pushing them apart.
* Opposite charges (one positive and one negative) attract each other, so the force acts in a direction pulling them together.
Therefore, electrostatic force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity.
