yes. push your hand against the wall... electric forces are happening at the atomic level of your hand and the wall but all the molecules and atoms in your hand never touch a single molecule or atom of the wall. if they did actually "touch" then you hand would start to go through to wall.

What electric charges do not need to be touching to exert forces on each other?
static electricity
What causes electrostatic force?
Particles of the same charge repel eachother
What are the forces between charges?
Electromagnetic.
What are the two causes of electric and magnetic forces?
mainly positive and negative charges
Magnetic poles are similar to electric charges in that they both can repel and attarct one another?
Yes, the rules for applying attraction and repulsion forces are the same for electric charges and magnets.
What do electric forces act between?
Electrical forces act between separated charges.
What electric charges do not need to be touching to exert forces on each other?
static electricity
How the behavior of electric charges similar to that of magnetic poles?
Like poles repel; opposite poles attract. They are similar to electric charges, for they can both attract and repel without touching. ... Electric charges produce electrical forces and regions called magnetic poles produce magnetic forces.
When the distance between two charges is halved the electric force between the charges?
The forces in each direction are quadrupled.
Electric force and its application?
an attraction or repulsion between electrically charged that opperates according to the law of electric forces charges and Coulomb's law of electric force
What causes electrostatic force?
Particles of the same charge repel eachother
How do forces between between electrical charges differ from forces between masses?
Gravitational forces are always attractive. Electrical charges are repulsive for same-type charges, and attractive for opposite-types.
What of the four fundamental forces is an attraction between opposite charges?
Electrostatic force — APEX
What are the forces between charges?
Electromagnetic.
What are the causes of magnetic and electrical forces?
mainly positive and negative charges
What are the two causes of electric and magnetic forces?
mainly positive and negative charges
Why are electric charges called forces?
because electrons are forced down the wire
