So this is kinda a tough question, I know, but can anyone explain electrostatics to me--the general concepts I should know for an AP-preparatory, very tough Physics 2 clas? I've really been slacking through this whole unit becuase my other classes are picking up, so if anyone could explain the basics of electromagnetism, electrostatics, and circuits would be really great--test is tommorrow. Yeesh.
