electrical phenomenon

1. A physical phenomenon involving electricity (synset 111469339)
   is a type of: physical phenomenon - a natural phenomenon involving the physical properties of matter and energy
   subtypes:

   • amperage - the strength of an electrical current measured in amperes
   • capacitance, capacity, electrical capacity - an electrical phenomenon whereby an electric charge is stored
   • elastance, electrical elastance - the reciprocal of capacitance
   • charge, electric charge - the quantity of unbalanced electricity in a body (either positive or negative) and construed as an excess or deficiency of electrons
   • pyroelectricity - generation of an electric charge on certain crystals (such as tourmaline) as a result of a change in temperature
   • current, electric current - a flow of electricity through a conductor
   • dielectric heating - heating of an insulator by a high-frequency electric field
   • inductance, induction - an electrical phenomenon whereby an electromotive force (EMF) is generated in a closed circuit by a change in the flow of current
   • electric potential, potential, potential difference, potential drop, voltage - the difference in electrical charge between two points in a circuit expressed in volts
   • conductance - a material's capacity to conduct electricity; measured as the reciprocal of electrical resistance
   • electric resistance, electrical resistance, impedance, ohmic resistance, resistance, resistivity - a material's opposition to the flow of electric current; measured in ohms
   • reactance - opposition to the flow of electric current resulting from inductance and capacitance (rather than resistance)
   • reluctance - (physics) opposition to magnetic flux (analogous to electric resistance)
   • skin effect - the tendency of high-frequency alternating current to distribute near the surface of a conductor
   • distortion - a change (usually undesired) in the waveform of an acoustic or analog electrical signal; the difference between two measurements of a signal (as between the input and output signal)
   • electrical disturbance - electrical signals produced by unwanted sources (atmospherics or receiver noise or unwanted transmitters)
   • electromotive force, emf, voltage - the rate at which energy is drawn from a source that produces a flow of electricity in a circuit; expressed in volts
