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; a physical phenomenon associated with stationary or moving electrons and protons; ELECTRICITY is electric current used as a source of power; The flow of electrons; a general term that refers to both naturally-occurring electrical phenomena, such as lightning and static electricity, and to generated electricity, which takes the form of direct current or alternating current electric power; A fundamental property of matter, appearing in negative and positive kinds; This is an example of kinetic energy This is the motion of electrons at very fast speeds (near the speed of light); a form of energy produced by the flow or accumulation (mass) of electrons; Colloquially, electric charge and currents, viewed as a "fluid" which may be attached to matter or flow through it The word came from "elektron," the Greek name of amber, one of the materials which when dry and lightly rubbed can attract small objects (by "static electricity") The Greeks and Romans already knew about such attractions, but William Gilbert, who studied them, called such materials "electricks," and from that came the modern term; Electricity is a form of energy that can be carried by wires and is used for heating and lighting, and to provide power for machines. The electricity had been cut off. Phenomenon associated with stationary or moving electric charges. The word comes from the Greek elektron ("amber"); the Greeks discovered that amber rubbed with fur attracted light objects such as feathers. Such effects due to stationary charges, or static electricity, were the first electrical phenomena to be studied. Not until the early 19th century were static electricity and electric current shown to be aspects of the same phenomenon. The discovery of the electron, which carries a charge designated as negative, showed that the various manifestations of electricity are the result of the accumulation or motion of numbers of electrons. The invention of the incandescent lightbulb (1879) and the construction of the first central power station (1881) by Thomas Alva Edison led to the rapid introduction of electric power into factories and homes.
