Electrostatics and Atomic Structure Concepts

The video introduces the concept of atoms, explaining their structure and the subatomic particles they consist of: protons, neutrons, and electrons. It discusses the electrostatic force, discovered by Charles Coulomb, which keeps electrons in orbit around the nucleus. The video uses the analogy of magnets to explain attraction and repulsion forces and provides a practical example of static electricity using a balloon and cloth. The video concludes with a call for feedback and engagement.
