The Electrostatics Interface is available for 3D, 2D in-plane, and 2D axisymmetric components. Applications with electrostatic equations include high-voltage apparatus, electronic devices, and capacitors. The term “statics” is not to be interpreted literally—it is the observation time, or time scale at which the applied excitation changes, that is short compared to the charge relaxation time; also, the electromagnetic wavelength and skin depth are very large compared to the size of the domain of interest.

If you do not know whether to use the Electric Currents or the Electrostatics interface, which both solve for the scalar electric potential V, consider using an explicit charge transport model. See Charge Relaxation Theory.
