  Electricity \E`lec*tric"i*ty\, n.; pl. {Electricities}. [Cf. F.
     ['e]lectricit['e]. See {Electric}.]
     1. A power in nature, a manifestation of energy, exhibiting
        itself when in disturbed equilibrium or in activity by a
        circuit movement, the fact of direction in which involves
        polarity, or opposition of properties in opposite
        directions; also, by attraction for many substances, by a
        law involving attraction between surfaces of unlike
        polarity, and repulsion between those of like; by
        exhibiting accumulated polar tension when the circuit is
        broken; and by producing heat, light, concussion, and
        often chemical changes when the circuit passes between the
        poles or through any imperfectly conducting substance or
        space. It is generally brought into action by any
        disturbance of molecular equilibrium, whether from a
        chemical, physical, or mechanical, cause.
  
     Note: Electricity is manifested under following different
           forms: (a)
  
     {Statical electricity}, called also
  
     {Frictional or Common}, {electricity}, electricity in the
        condition of a stationary charge, in which the disturbance
        is produced by friction, as of glass, amber, etc., or by
        induction. (b)
  
     {Dynamical electricity}, called also
  
     {Voltaic electricity}, electricity in motion, or as a current
        produced by chemical decomposition, as by means of a
        voltaic battery, or by mechanical action, as by
        dynamo-electric machines. (c)
  
     {Thermoelectricity}, in which the disturbing cause is heat
        (attended possibly with some chemical action). It is
        developed by uniting two pieces of unlike metals in a bar,
        and then heating the bar unequally. (d)
  
     {Atmospheric electricity}, any condition of electrical
        disturbance in the atmosphere or clouds, due to some or
        all of the above mentioned causes. (e)
  
     {Magnetic electricity}, electricity developed by the action
        of magnets. (f)
  
     {Positive electricity}, the electricity that appears at the
        positive pole or anode of a battery, or that is produced
        by friction of glass; -- called also {vitreous
        electricity}. (g)
  
     {Negative electricity}, the electricity that appears at the
        negative pole or cathode, or is produced by the friction
        of resinous substance; -- called also resinous
        electricity. (h)
  
     {Organic electricity}, that which is developed in organic
        structures, either animal or vegetable, the phrase animal
        electricity being much more common.
  
     2. The science which unfolds the phenomena and laws of
        electricity; electrical science.
  
     3. Fig.: Electrifying energy or characteristic.

  electricity
       n 1: a physical phenomenon associated with stationary or moving
            electrons and protons
       2: energy made available by the flow of electric charge through
          a conductor; "they built a car that runs on electricity"
          [syn: {electrical energy}]
       3: keen and shared excitement; "the stage crackled with
          electricity whenever she was on it"

  ELECTRICITY, n.  The power that causes all natural phenomena not known
  to be caused by something else.  It is the same thing as lightning,
  and its famous attempt to strike Dr. Franklin is one of the most
  picturesque incidents in that great and good man's career.  The memory
  of Dr. Franklin is justly held in great reverence, particularly in
  France, where a waxen effigy of him was recently on exhibition,
  bearing the following touching account of his life and services to
  science:
  
          "Monsieur Franqulin, inventor of electricity.  This
      illustrious savant, after having made several voyages around the
      world, died on the Sandwich Islands and was devoured by savages,
      of whom not a single fragment was ever recovered."
  
      Electricity seems destined to play a most important part in the
  arts and industries.  The question of its economical application to
  some purposes is still unsettled, but experiment has already proved
  that it will propel a street car better than a gas jet and give more
  light than a horse.
