electrostaticadj.

Brit.

/ᵻˌlɛktrə(ʊ)ˈstatɪk/, U.S.

/əˌlɛktrəˈstædɪk/,

/iˌlɛktrəˈstædɪk/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; perhaps modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: electro- comb. form, static adj.

Etymology: < electro- comb. form + static adj., after either French électrostatique (see electrostatics n.) or electrostatics n. Compare earlier electrodynamic adj.

Physics.

1. Of or relating to stationary electric charges, as opposed to electric currents; designating an unvarying electric field, such as a stationary charge produces; (of devices, equipment, etc.) utilizing or involving such a field.
