Electric force is also a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. The direction of the electric force depends on the signs of the charges involved:
Like charges (both positive or both negative) repel each other, so the force is directed away from each other.
Opposite charges (one positive and one negative) attract each other, so the force is directed towards each other.
