This a four-part interactive tutorial on the basics of electrostatics, developed for teachers and learners of introductory physics. It introduces electric force in the context of charge interaction and helps build conceptual awareness of charged objects as an imbalance of protons and electrons. After laying the conceptual groundwork, follow-up lessons include charge polarization, methods of charging, Coulomb's Law, and electric field. Each section contains problem sets allowing users to self-test their understanding.
