Electricity

We are all familiar with electricity which is used to light homes, streets and other buildings/premises, etc. and to run domestic, industrial and commercial appliances, equipment and machinery for the benefit of humanity. Thus electricity is the most versatile form of energy.

Def. "a phenomenon caused by the distribution and movement of charged subatomic particles and their interaction with the electromagnetic field"[1] is called electricity.
