In addition to Dobromir's answer on how to add another field to the document, here's how you can add another item to the electronics array in your existing document:

var second_Catagory = {
  name: "second name",
  price: price,
  scrachedPrice: scrachedPrice,
  color: colors,
  sizeList: sizes,
  stockStatusAvailablity: inStockAvailablity,
  productInStock: productInStock,
  rating: rating,
  productDescription: productDescription,
},

db.collection("catagory")
  .doc("catagories")
  .update({ electronics: firebase.firestore.FieldValue.arrayUnion(second_Catagory) })

Also see the Firebase documentation on adding items to an array.

How to add documents to firestore collection? And how to modify them?

// Add a new document in collection "cities"
db.collection("cities").doc("LA").set({
    name: "Los Angeles",
    state: "CA",
    country: "USA"
})
.then(() => {
    console.log("Document successfully written!");
})
.catch((error) => {
    console.error("Error writing document: ", error);
});

And if this document is not existing one its going to be created, but if its already there the data will be overwriten by the latest document.
Of course there is a option that can prevent that from happening.

var cityRef = db.collection('cities').doc('BJ');

var setWithMerge = cityRef.set({
    capital: true
}, { merge: true });

This explanation is very basic but usefull for further understanding of how firebase is working. All of it is from the firebase docs, they are very well made take a look at them.
