electric force
Coulomb's invisible push
Electric force is the push or pull between objects that have electric charge.
Like charges repel each other; opposite charges attract.
This fundamental force holds electrons in orbit around atomic nuclei and governs how materials interact at the molecular level.
The electric force between the balloon and her hair made it stand on end.
