The science which studies the phenomena and laws of electricity; electrical science.
A form of energy that comes from the movement of electrons and protons. It can be produced by friction (as by rubbing wax with wool), by chemical action (as in a storage battery) or by induction (as in a dynamo – an electric motor or generator). Electricity is used to produce light, heat, power, etc. Electricity moving in a stream, as through a wire, is called electric current.

A type of energy made when small particles called electrons move from one object to another, there are two types - static and current.
Electric energy supplied to a building by a central utility via power lines or from a central physical plant in a separate building that is part of the same multibuilding facility. Electric power generated within a building for exclusive use in that building is specifically excluded from the definition of electricity as an energy source.
apart from being the name of the subject, electricity does not have a well-defined technical meaning. How, then, should we translate common usages of the term? To 'generate electricity' usually means to create emf, but when you 'buy electricity' you pay for energy. Some people say that electricity means charge, but if you mean charge, it's probably better to say charge.
electric current used or regarded as a sources of power, caused by the attraction of particles with opposite charges and the repulsion of particles with the same charge.
The physical phenomena that arises from the existance and interaction of electric charges.
ELECTRICITY is electric current used as a source of power.
A type of energy in which small particles (called electrons) move through a device.
a property of matter caused by the movement of electrons. This "movement" is initiated usually by a generator that is fueled by any number of energy resources such as coal, uranium, water (hydropower), or directly converted from solar radiation on photovoltaic cells. Electricity is not energy per se, but the "carrier" of energy that originates in fossil fuel and renewable energy sources.
a physical phenomenon associated with stationary or moving electrons and protons
energy made available by the flow of electric charge through a conductor; "they built a car that runs on electricity"
an effect resulting from the existence of stationary or moving electric charges.
a form of energy: electric current or power
A form of energy that flows along a path and can produce heat, light, magnetism, motion, or a chemical change.
Electric current used as a power source. Electricity can be generated from a variety of feedstocks including oil, coal, nuclear, hydro, natural gas, wind, and solar. In electric vehicles, onboard rechargeable batteries power an electric motor.
physical phenomenon caused by electrical charges and their interaction. A static charge creates forces on nearby objects and a moving charge creates magnetic effects.
This is an example of kinetic energy. This is the motion of electrons at very fast speeds (near the speed of light).
Electricity can be used as a transportation fuel to power battery electric and fuel cell vehicles. When used to power electric vehicles or EVs, electricity is stored in an energy storage device such as a battery.
Is the study of charged particle in motion.
A common word for electrical current.
A basic phenomenon in nature which involves the movement of electrons in a medium. This movement of electrons or electric current is considered a source of power.
A form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles, either statically as an accumulation of charge or dynamically as a current.
A form of energy that is found in nature (such as in lightning or electric eels) and can be produced artificially by rubbing together two unlike things (such as glass and silk), by the action of chemicals (as in batteries) or with magnets. Electricity is basically the movement of electrons from one element to another.
Electric current or power that results from the movement of electrons in a conductor from a negatively charged point to a positively charged point.
A form of energy. An electrant current is a stream of electrons.
a fundamental phenomenon in nature seen in the attractions and repulsions of oppositely charged objects and utilized as a source of energy ion the form of a current
Electricity is a property of matter that results from the presence or movement of electric charge. Together with magnetism, it constitutes the fundamental interaction known as electromagnetism. Electricity is responsible for many well-known physical phenomena such as lightning, electric fields and electric currents, and is put to use in industrial applications such as electronics and electric power.
A form of energy and a flow of electrons from one atom to another
the energy available from the movement of electrons within a conducting material.
results from interaction of positively and negatively charged atoms. The movement of electrons, protons and neutrons within atoms and between atoms creates the charges.
Property of fundamental particles of matter that have a force field associated with them to gain or lose electrons.
The energy of moving electrons, the current of which is used as a source of power.
The energy created by the movement of electrons. Electrical energy can be converted into light, heat, or motion.
General term, synonymous to "electrical energy".
Form of energy with magnetic, radiant and chemical effects. Electric current is created by a flow of charged particles (electrons).
The phenomena arising from the behavior of electrons and protons that is caused by the attraction of particles with opposite charges and the repulsion of particles with the same charge.
The phenomenon associated with stationary or moving electric charges. Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter and is borne by elementary particles. In electricity the particle involved is the electron, which carries a charge designated, by convention, as negative. Thus, the various manifestations of electricity are the result of the accumulation or motion of numbers of electrons.
One of the basic forms of energy. Electricity is associated with electric charge, a property of certain elementary particles such as electrons and protons, two of the basic particles that make up the atoms of all ordinary matter. Electric charges can be stationary, as in static electricity, or moving, as in an electric current.
The area of physical phenomena dealing with the behavior of electric charges. There are two main branches of electricity: electrodynamics, the study of charged particles in motion; and electrostatics, the study of charged particles at rest.
A flow of electrons (very tiny particles that is used to power lights, motors, tools, and many other devices. We get electricity from batteries or over wires from generators.
Part of the electromagnetic force carried by the movement of charged particles.
Energy made by moving charged particles.
Science states that certain particles possess a force field or charge. The charge possessed by an electron is negative while the charge possessed by a proton is positive. Electricity can be divided into two groups, static and dynamic. Static electricty deals with charges at rest and dynamic electricity deals with charges in motion.
Metered electric power supplied by a central utility company to a residence via underground or aboveground power lines. Electricity generated on site for the exclusive use of a residence is estimated using the regression equations used to impute electricity. Since there are no volumetric measures of electricity as with the fossil fuels, electricity is measured as the amount of power used at any instant (demand expressed in W or kW) or as power used over a given time (consumption expressed in kWh). The heat equivalent for electricity that comes into the home is 3,412 Btu per kWh, but this is a derived form of energy and does not represent the amount of energy needed to generate the electricity and transmit it to the building. Generation and transmission requires about 3.3 times 3,412 Btu per kWh, or 11,620 Btu per kWh.
Electricity (from Greek ήλεκτÏον (electron) "amber") is a general term for the variety of phenomena resulting from the presence and flow of electric charge. It could just as easily be called 'ambaricy', and amber 'electrum', as it is in Phillip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials'. Together with magnetism, it constitutes the fundamental interaction known as electromagnetism.
