Electrostatic effects are caused by the attraction and repulsion of electrically charged objects, the same kind of interaction that happens with magnets. Magnets and electric charges emanate disembodies forces. These remote forces actively push electrical objects together, or pull them apart. Static, electric, and magnetic effects are those emanating from stationary charges or magnets. In an electric current, by contrast, the electricity is continually moving, flowing like water molecules in a river. Similarly, you have to move a magnet in order to induce an electric current in a nearby loop of wire. Michael Faraday imagined the effects of magnets as magnetizing or polarizing the surrounding space, filling it up with an invisible pattern of curved lines of force. The magnetized space was the field, and Faraday imagined the magnetic force was continually through the field along the invisible lines of force. When any other magnet is placed by it, it immediately feels the effects of this continual emanation of force. Faraday also imagined that the number of lines of force in any given region gives a measure of the force in that region, at the poles of the magnet, where there are more lines of force than at the sides. In Coulomb’s Law of electrostatic force, any 2 small objects, each charged with static electricity, exert an equal and opposite force on each other that has the same pattern as Newton’s law, where every action has an equal and opposite reaction. These universal laws of pole shifting can even be applied to the very large, where every 26,000 years our sun aligns with the Milky Way, possibly causing the North and South poles of the Earth to shift, generating massive earthquakes and colossal deluges, the Earth possibly even being bombarded with intense solar storms as sunspot activity increases. This may just be the beginning.
