Electric forces are pretty interesting, for example, if you take your clothes out from the clothes dryer you might see that your clothes are sticking together and that's due to static electricity.
All matter has an "Electric charge", some have more charge than others, and thus there are mainly three types of charge. Positive, Neutral, And Negative charges each with their own perks.
Back to the electrically charged clothes, since they were spinning in the dryer they were rubbing against each other, and that caused the negative electric charges to start to become positive because of friction, and then when you try to remove the clothing items apart you may notice that they stick since of the positive charge they both possess.
As the name implies it is an "Electric force" and forces push and pull like a gushing river or a spinning typhoon, the electric force pulls or pushes depending on its electrical charge.
Now how does the attraction or repelling work, well the saying is "opposites attract", which means a positive charge will be attracted to a negative charge and vice versa, meaning in the dried clothes one of them is negatively charged while the other is positively charged.
But if both are the same (negative or positive charged), they will be repelled and try to avoid each other.
Now the strength of the electric force depends on the amount of electric charge in the object, so a strong electric charge causes it to be a strong pull or push, and how this pull and or push gets weaker is distance, as the further the object charged object is to the other object causes the strength to differ.
