How do electric charges exert forces on each other?
ughm i think because when u pass a balloon on your head it make your hair move with it also.

This exerts a force on anything that has an electrical charge?
An electric field has what are called lines of force that radiate outward from the electric charge that creates them. It is the "touch" or the interaction with these lines of force that allow an electric field to exert a force (an electrostatic force) on anything with an electric charge.A fundamental law of electrostatics is that like charges repel and opposite charges attract. A charge will have an electric field around it, and if another charge is nearby, the fields of the charges will interact. Like charges will "push" on each other, while opposite charges will "pull" on each other. It's the fields of the respective charges that interact to cause the effects we see.All electric charges have associated electric fields around them. It is possible to "see" the electric fields like we "see" gravimetric fields. Both forces can "reach across" space to interact with objects at a distance from the source of the force. The field lines (lines of force) carry the force outward and are the means by which interaction occurs.
Electric field due to one or more point charge?
When two charges are brought near one another they exert rather large forces on each other. This happens even in a vacum. When first discovered this behavoir was a real mystery. How could one charge push another charge without ever touching? Since touching was a fundamental way of transmitting force early scientists decided there must be something else to a charge then just a little ball. This "something else", although inviible to the human eye, had to be attached to the charge and extend far out. So now scientists were happy because they could explain forces between charges as the result of this "something else" touching the other charge. This "somethin else" was called the electric field ot the charge. So in a sense it was just an invention to make everything logical. Today, electric fields are considered a fundamental part of our physical world. Interestingly, with the invention of powerfull microscopes we now know that on a microscopic level all typical forces , except gravity, are due to charges in matter pushing on each other via their electric fields. So that original requirement of touching has lost some importance. Although on a macroscopic (non-microscopic) level the concept of touching is still very important in engineering. You still can't push a box without touching it, even if on the microscopic level you really aren't touching it. Engineering problems would become incredibly hard to solve if all the forces had to be described in terms of the electric fields of all the atoms in the problem.
How does the theory of field forces explain how onjects could exert force on each other without touching?
The "field" transmits a change of environment that exerts a force on the remote object.

What moves electrons?
basically an electron is moved by the forces they exert on each other. It depends on the polarity of that particular charge as it is known that like charges repel and unlike charges attract.

What exert the force that causes other electric charges to move?
Consider the stream of electrons travelling in an old Cathode Ray Tube CRT. These may be displaced by both magnetic and electric fields.
Does the coulomb force that one charge exerts on other charges change if the other charges are brought nearby?
First of all, one charge doesn't exert force on other charges. The forces always occur in pairs ... a pair of equal and opposite forces between every two charges. The strength of those forces is proportional to the product of the two charges, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two charges. So yes, if the distance between two charges were to change, then the coulomb force between them would change. If new, additional charges happen along, then there are forces between every two charges present. The forces between the original two don't change.

Two equal charges exert equal forces on each other What if one charge has twice the magnitude of the other?
Whatever be the magnitude of charge, two charges will always exert equal force on each other. As force depends on the product of magnitude of charges, it will increase if magnitude is doubled but will remain same for both the charges.
What does static charge mean?
A buildup of electric charge in an object caused by the presence of many particles with the same charge.
Space in which charges exert a force on each other?
Plasma.
