What is an electricity?

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.

Origin of electricity.

Electricity is a secondary energy source. This means that unlike fossil fuels, nature does not
make it available for us to gather and use without some kind of processing. Of course, the
lightning produced by atmospheric storms has a huge electrical charge, but we have no way
of storing this energy or knowing where storms will occur. That means that we need to
generate electricity using other sources, primary sources.

"Electricity is a secondary energy source. This means that it is not available in nature for us
to gather and use."

Types of electricity.

There are two types of Electricity, Static Electricity and Current Electricity. Static Electricity is
made by rubbing together two or more objects and making friction while Current electricity
is the flow of electric charge across an electrical field.

Write your own concept of electricity.

For me electricity is a natural phenomenon that is produced by natural electrical charges


which can be positive charges and negative charges.

Electricity in Dominican Republic.

In the Dominican Republic the standard voltage is 110 V and the frequency is 60 Hz. You can
use your electric appliances in the Dominican Republic, if the standard voltage in your
country is in between 110 - 127 V (as is in the US, Canada and most South American
countries).

The power sector in the Dominican Republic has traditionally been, and still is, a bottleneck
to the country's economic growth. A prolonged electricity crisis and ineffective remedial
measures have led to a vicious cycle of regular blackouts, high operating costs of the
distribution companies, large losses including electricity theft through illegal connections,
high retail tariffs to cover these inefficiencies, low bill collection rates, a significant fiscal
burden for the government through direct and indirect subsidies, and very high costs for
consumers as many of them have to rely on expensive alternative self-generated
electricity.[1] According to the World Bank, the revitalization of the Dominican economy
depends greatly on a sound reform of the sector
