      [82]lectricit[82]. 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)

      {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

            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

            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
