Electricity \E`lec*tric"i*ty\, n.; pl. {Electricities}. [Cf. F.       [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)          {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.

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.
