'''Electricity''' (from [[Greek language|Greek]] ήλεκτρον (electron) ''"[[amber]]"'') is a general term for the variety of phenomena resulting from the presence and flow of [[electric charge]]. It could just as easily be called 'ambaricy', and amber 'electrum', as it is in Phillip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials'. Together with [[magnetism]], it constitutes the [[fundamental interaction]] known as [[electromagnetism]]. It includes many well-known [[physics|physical]] phenomena such as [[lightning]], [[electric field]]s and [[electric current]]s, and is put to use in [[Industry|industrial]] applications such as [[electronics]] and [[electric power]].
