What are atoms?
Matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms

Forces acting on two bodies:
Same Net Charges
Different Net Charges
The force causes movement of electrons or flow of charges

Electric FieldAn electric field is a region in which an electric charge experiences an electric force (attraction or repulsion)
