In wikipedia (Electric charge - Overviewan article of wikipedia), thereit is following sentencestated that :

Charge is the fundamental property of matter that exhibits electrostatic attraction or repulsion in the presence of other matter with charge.

Of course, i can accept easily this sentence if there isn't word "electrostatic".

But iI can't understand why there is "electrostatic" mentioned in this statement. As far as i know,Isn't there is also attraction or repulsion between two moving charge.

What am i confused about too?

Is the charge concept only applicable to electrostatics?

In wikipedia, there is following sentence:

Charge is the fundamental property of matter that exhibits electrostatic attraction or repulsion in the presence of other matter with charge.

Of course, i can accept easily this sentence if there isn't word "electrostatic".

But i can't understand why there is "electrostatic". As far as i know, there is also attraction or repulsion between two moving charge.
