To clarify, if I asked "how does electricity work" I would want "electrons flow from a negatively charged area to a positively charged area", not "it powers electronics like phones" as an answer. The latter would be what I'd want if I asked "what does electricity do".
Onto the question! Lets say we had 2 plates with 8 negatively charged balls each anchored in the shape of a regular octagon. They're basically completely identical. Plate A is directly above Plate B and both are still. Due to their negative charges, they repel. From a perspective where like charges repel this makes sense.
Now lets make both plates start rotating fast in the same direction. These plates are now creating a magnetic field that is pulling the plates towards each other. This force is so strong that the attraction caused by the magnetism equals the repulsion of the negative charges. From the static-electrical perspective of one of Plate A's balls, the plates would only act like this if net charge of Plate B's balls was neutral. From a perspective where like charges repel this seems strange and confusing.
Now lets make both plates start rotating really fast in the same direction. These plates are creating a strong magnetic field that is pulling the plates towards each other. This force is so strong that the attraction caused by the magnetism is greater than the repulsion of the negative charges. From the static-electrical perspective of one of Plate A's balls, the plates would only act like this if net charge of Plate B's balls was positive. From a perspective where like charges repel this makes no sense whatsoever.
Now due to the fact magnetic fields are created by moving charges, I'd say there's a good chance that the forces applied to charges due to magnetism are also caused by static electricity. Using this logic you can say the charge of Plate B would keeps getting more positively charged as the rotations speeds increased from Plate A's perspective. How would this work under the logic of "like charges repel and opposite charges attract"?
