#electrical_phenomenon a physical phenomenon involving electricity
supertype: #physical_phenomenon a natural phenomenon involving the physics of matter and energy
subtype: #amperage the strength of a electrical current measured in amperes
subtype: #capacitance__electrical_capacity__capacity an electrical phenomenon whereby an electric charge is stored
subtype: #electrical_elastance__elastance the reciprocal of capacitance
subtype: #electric_charge__charge the quantity of unbalanced electricity in a body (either positive or negative) and construed as an excess or deficiency of electrons; "the battery needed a fresh charge"
subtype: #electrostatic_charge__electrostaticcharge the electric charge at rest on the surface of an insulated body (which establishes and adjacent electrostatic field)
subtype: #positive_charge having a deficiency of electrons; having a higher electric potential
subtype: #negative_charge having a surplus of electrons; having a lower electric potential
subtype: #pyroelectricity generation of an electric charge on certain crystals (such as tourmaline) as a result of a change in temperature
subtype: #electric_current__current a flow of electricity through a conductor; "the current was measured in amperes"
subtype: #thermionic_current an electric current produced between two electrodes as a result of electrons emitted by thermionic emission
subtype: #dielectric_heating heating of an insulator by a high-frequency electric field
subtype: #induction.electrical_phenomenon an electrical phenomenon whereby an electromotive force (EMF) is generated in a closed circuit by a change in the flow of current
subtype: #electromagnetic_mutual_induction__mutual_induction generation of electromotive forces in each other by two adjacent circuits
subtype: #self-induction generation of an electromotive force (EMF) in a circuit by changing the current in that circuit; usually measured in henries
subtype: #electric_potential__potential__potential_difference__potentialdifference__potential_drop__potentialdrop__voltage the difference in electrical charge between two points in a circuit expressed in volts
subtype: #evoked_potential the electrical response of the central nervous system produced by an external stimulus; "he measured evoked potentials with an electroencephalogram"
subtype: #resting_potential__restingpotential the potential difference between the two sides of the membrane of a nerve cell when the cell is not conducting an impulse
subtype: #conductance a material's capacity to conduct electricity; measured as the reciprocal of electrical resistance
subtype: #electric_resistance__electrical_resistance__impedance__resistance__resistivity__ohmic_resistance__ohmicresistance a material's opposition to the flow of electric current; measured in ohms
subtype: #ohmage the ohmic resistance of a conductor
subtype: #reactance opposition to the flow of electric current resulting from inductance and capacitance (rather than resistance)

subtype: #electrical_disturbance electrical signals produced by unwanted sources (atmospherics or receiver noise or unwanted transmitters)
subtype: #voltage__electromotiveforce__emf the rate at which energy is drawn from a source that produces a flow of electricity in a circuit; expressed in volts
