11. The only thing that would attract this stuff to the circuitry is electrostatic force . 12. A substantial energy barrier of electrostatic forces must be overcome before fusion can occur. 13. Yet, it is electrostatic force , just a teenie weenie scale. 14. Nuclei are positively charged, and thus repel each other due to the electrostatic force . 15. The ions are positively charged, so they repel each other due to the electrostatic force . 16. Usually electrostatic force is small because the sample has been covered with a polymer layer. 17. This motion has to be resisted by electrostatic forces from the electrodes under the tines. 18. Ionic compounds are rarely purely ionic, i . e . held together only by electrostatic forces . 19. Because of Brownian motion and electrostatic forces balancing the gravity, they are not likely to settle naturally. 20. Otherwise, the repulsive electrostatic force dissipates it.
