electromagnets: electrical currents generate magnetic fields, and changing magnetic fields generate electrical currents electric field (see electrostatics): an especially simple type of electromagnetic field produced by an electric charge even when it is not moving Types of electricity Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and flowof electric charge electric potential: the capacity of an electric field to do work on an electric charge, typically measured in volts. electric charge: a property of some subatomic particles, which determines their electromagnetic interactions. electric current: a movement or flow of electrically charged particles, typically measured in amperes
Electricity Uses of electricity Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and flow of electric charge The use of electricity gives a very convenient way to transfer energy, and because of this it has been adapted to a huge, and growing, number of uses. Electrcity helps us in lots of ways, It helps us watch television, play computer games and bathe. Without electrcity a lot of things we take for granted wouldn't be here today. Imagine living inn the dark with no central heating or television or computer?
