What are the five Electricity Terms? - Electricity, Voltage, Amperage, Resistance, Watt. Electricity - The physical phenomena arising from the existence and interaction of an electrical charge. Voltage/Electromotive Force (EMF) - The amount of force being applied to a circuit to produce an electron flow. Amperage - The quantity of electricity flowing through the circuit (Current Flow). Resistance - The opposition of the flow of electrons offered by a device or material. (Ohm's) Watt - The measurement of electrical work done. What are the two Forms Of Electricity? - Static And Dynamic Static Electricity - Electricity at rest, produced by friction, and is not easily measured nor is it controllable or usable. Dynamic Electricity - The practical form of current flow that is used in everyday life. Easily produced, measured and controlled. What are the methods of producing Dynamic Electricity? - Mechanical, Chemical, Thermal, and Pressure. Mechanical Method Of Producing Dynamic Electricity - Produced by rotating a magnetic field through another magnetic field
