Edison's education is most unique and relevant.
1. The first teacher he had was his mother
2. He found vital lessons and was influenced greatly by the book of R.G. Parker called School of Natural Philosophy
3. Another educating piece he had was a book entitled The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art
His style of learning was though reading books on a variety of subjects, a self-educating environment that fosters independent learning which can be useful through his life.
I had a question like this one time and the answer is a pound of cement
Semantically? An electric field does not have to be static while in electrostatics it's generally assumed that the electric field does not change or only changes so slowly that its rate of change doesn't matter. That's very different in electrodynamics where electric and magnetic field changes are always coupled.
