Electricity
Electricity, one of the basi forms of energy. Electciy is associated with elec charge a
propery of certain elementary panicles such as cleewons and protons, two of the basic
particles that make up the atoms of all ordinary matter. Electic charges can be stationary, as
in ttic Eletrcity, or moving, as in an electric current.
Electrica! activity takes place constantly every where in the universe, Blecrcsl forees
hold molecules toyether. The nervous system of animals work by means of weak electric
sigoals transmitted between neurons (nerve cells).Blecicity is generated, transmitted, end
converted into hen, light, motion, and other forms of encray through natural processes, as
well as by devices built by people
Electricity has an extremely versatile form of energy. It can be generated in many ways
and from many different sources Lt can be sent almost instantaneously over long distances.
EElectticity can also be converted efficiently into other forms of energy, and it can be stored
because of this versatility, electricity plays a part in nearly every aspect of modem
technology. Electricity provides light, heat, and mechanical power. It makes telephones,
computers, televisions, and countless other necessitis end luxuries possible.University of Bejaia
