ShareElectricity 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.
