'''Electricity''' (from the New Latin ēlectricus, "amber-like"[a]) is a general term that [[encompasses]] a variety of [[phenomena]] resulting from the [[presence]] and [[flow]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge electric charge]. These include many easily recognizable [[phenomena]], such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning lightning] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_electricity static electricity], but in addition, less familiar [[concepts]], such as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_field electromagnetic field] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction electromagnetic induction].<br />
