What is electric?

Answer 1

Lightning, televisions, refrigerators, radios, lights, cookers.

Answer 2

Electricity is a form of energy resulting from the presence and flow of electric charge. It is produced when electrons move through a conductor, such as a wire, creating an electrical current that can be used to power various devices and systems.

Answer 3

Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that has a property of electric charge. Electricity is related to magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as described by Maxwell's equations. Various common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges and many others.

Answer 4

Electricity is a general term encompassing a variety of phenomena resulting from the presence and flow of electric charge. These include many easily recognizable phenomena, such as lightning, static electricity, and the flow of electrical current in an electrical wire. In addition, electricity encompasses less familiar concepts such as the electromagnetic field and electromagnetic induction.

In general, electricity is the movement or flow of an electric charge or charges. In a less general sense, we usually think of electricity as the flow of electrons, which are subatomic particles that carry a negative charge. Electric charges will move to obey electrostatic principles, and when there is more than one charge involved, a force (an electrostatic force) will act between them. We might term this force voltage, and it is voltage that causes charges to move.

Electricity could be looked at as the dynamic application of the electromagnetic force, which is one of the four fundamental forces in nature. There is a field associated with any charge, and the field could be looked at as the force carrier. Terms like voltage, current, potential (or potential difference) often appear in the conversation about electricity. These more specific items are dealt with in separate questions.

Answer 5

Electric is best thought of as a 'flow of electrons'.

Answer 6

Lightning, televisions, refrigerators, radios, lights, cookers.

Answer 7

Electricals is used to denote devices machines or components that use or work with electricity. Usually a mart that deals with above is named electricals.

Answer 8

It is the flow of charge.

Answer 9

Lightning for one thing.

Answer 10

Electricity is a type of energy that can build up in one place or flow from one place to another. When electricity gathers in one place it is known as static electricity (the word static means something that does not move); electricity that moves from one place to another is called current electricity.
