Below is a massive list of electricity words — that is, words related to electricity. The top 4 are: energy, lightning, power and gas. You can get the definition(s) of a word in the list below by tapping the question-mark icon next to it. The words at the top of the list are the ones most associated with electricity, and as you go down the relatedness becomes more slight. By default, the words are sorted by relevance/relatedness, but you can also get the most common electricity terms by using the menu below, and there’s also the option to sort the words alphabetically so you can get electricity words starting with a particular letter. You can also filter the word list so it only shows words that are also related to another word of your choosing. So for example, you could enter «energy» and click «filter», and it’d give you words that are related to electricity and energy.
You can highlight the terms by the frequency with which they occur in the written English language using the menu below. The frequency data is extracted from the English Wikipedia corpus, and updated regularly. If you just care about the words’ direct semantic similarity to electricity, then there’s probably no need for this.
There are already a bunch of websites on the net that help you find synonyms for various words, but only a handful that help you find related, or even loosely associated words. So although you might see some synonyms of electricity in the list below, many of the words below will have other relationships with electricity — you could see a word with the exact opposite meaning in the word list, for example. So it’s the sort of list that would be useful for helping you build a electricity vocabulary list, or just a general electricity word list for whatever purpose, but it’s not necessarily going to be useful if you’re looking for words that mean the same thing as electricity (though it still might be handy for that).
If you’re looking for names related to electricity (e.g. business names, or pet names), this page might help you come up with ideas. The results below obviously aren’t all going to be applicable for the actual name of your pet/blog/startup/etc., but hopefully they get your mind working and help you see the links between various concepts. If your pet/blog/etc. has something to do with electricity, then it’s obviously a good idea to use concepts or words to do with electricity.
If you don’t find what you’re looking for in the list below, or if there’s some sort of bug and it’s not displaying electricity related words, please send me feedback using this page. Thanks for using the site — I hope it is useful to you! 🐓
That’s about all the electricity related words we’ve got! I hope this list of electricity terms was useful to you in some way or another. The words down here at the bottom of the list will be in some way associated with electricity, but perhaps tenuously (if you’ve currenly got it sorted by relevance, that is). If you have any feedback for the site, please share it here, but please note this is only a hobby project, so I may not be able to make regular updates to the site. Have a nice day! 🐼

THE NATURE OF ELECTRICITY
Practical electricity is produced by small atomic particles known as electrons. It is the movement of these particles which produce the effects of heat and light.
The pressure that forces these atomic particles to move, the effects they encounter opposition and how these forces are controlled are some of the principles of electricity.
Accepted atomic theory states that all matter is electrical in structure. Any object is largely composed of a combination of positive and negative particles of electricity. Electric current will pass through a wire, a body, or along a stream of water. It can be established in some substances more readily than in others, that all matter is composed of electric particles despite some basic differences in materials. The science of electricity then must begin with a study of the structure of matter.
Matter is defined as any substance which has mass (or weight) and occupies space. This definition should be broad enough to cover all physical objects in the universe. Wood, water, iron, and paper are some examples of matter. Energy is closely related to, but not to be confused with, matter. Energy does not have mass, and it does not occupy space. Heat and light are examples of energy.
The smallest particle of
matter which can be recognized as an original substance was thought to be a
unit called the atom. Recently scientists have found particles even smaller
than atoms, but our theories are still based on the atom. The atom consists of
a nucleus and a cloud of electrons. It is generally agreed that the electrons
are small particles of electricity, which are negative in nature. These
particles orbit the nucleus in much the same fashion that planets orbit a sun.

ELECTRIC CURRENT
The electric current is a quantity of electrons flowing in a circuit per second of time. The unit of measure for current is ampere. If one coulomb passes a point in a circuit per second then the current strength is 1 ampere. The symbol for current is I.
The current which flows along wires consists of moving electrons. The electrons move along the circuit because the e .m. f. drives them. The current is directly proportional to the e. m. f.
In addition to traveling through solids, however, the electric current can flow through liquids as well and even through gases. In both cases it produces some most important effects to meet industrial requirements.
Some liquids, such as melted metals for example, conduct current without any change to themselves. Others, called electrolytes, are found to change greatly when the current passes through them.
When the electrons flow in one direction only, the current is known to be d. c., that is, direct current. The simplest source of power for the direct current is a battery, for a battery pushes the electrons in the same direction all the time (i.e., from the negatively charged terminal to the positively charged terminal).
The letters a. c. stand for alternating current. The current under consideration flows first in one direction and then in the opposite one. The a. c. used for power and lighting purposes is assumed to go through 50 cycles in one second. One of the great advantages of a. c. is the ease with which power at low voltage can be changed into an almost similar amount of power at high voltage and vice versa. Hence, on the one hand alternating voltage is increased when it is necessary for long-distance transmission and, on the other hand, one can decrease it to meet industrial requirements as well as to operate various devices at home.
Although there are numerous
cases when d. c. is required, at least 90 per cent of electrical energy to be
generated at present is a. c. In fact, it finds wide application for lighting,
heating, industrial, and some other purposes.

Words Related to ~term~
As you’ve probably noticed, words related to «term» are listed above. Hopefully the generated list of term related words above suit your needs.
P.S. There are some problems that I’m aware of, but can’t currently fix (because they are out of the scope of this project). The main one is that individual words can have many different senses (meanings), so when you search for a word like mean, the engine doesn’t know which definition you’re referring to («bullies are mean» vs. «what do you mean?», etc.), so consider that your search query for words like term may be a bit ambiguous to the engine in that sense, and the related terms that are returned may reflect this. You might also be wondering: What type of word is ~term~?
Also check out ~term~ words on relatedwords.io for another source of associations.
Related Words
Related Words runs on several different algorithms which compete to get their results higher in the list. One such algorithm uses word embedding to convert words into many dimensional vectors which represent their meanings. The vectors of the words in your query are compared to a huge database of of pre-computed vectors to find similar words. Another algorithm crawls through Concept Net to find words which have some meaningful relationship with your query. These algorithms, and several more, are what allows Related Words to give you… related words — rather than just direct synonyms.
As well as finding words related to other words, you can enter phrases and it should give you related words and phrases, so long as the phrase/sentence you entered isn’t too long. You will probably get some weird results every now and then — that’s just the nature of the engine in its current state.
Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used to bring you this list of term themed words: @Planeshifter, @HubSpot, Concept Net, WordNet, and @mongodb.
There is still lots of work to be done to get this to give consistently good results, but I think it’s at the stage where it could be useful to people, which is why I released it.

Text: “Electricity”.
Electricity and all its observable effects result from properties of stationary or moving electric charges. There are two types, known as positive charges and negative charges, which exist in all substances and in all states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas.
All substances are made up of atoms, which consist of a nucleus (containing protons and neutrons) and orbiting electrons. Protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged. Electrons can be removed from atoms and made to take part in various electrical phenomena. Protons, on the other hand, are usually found as part of a cluster of protons, neutrons, and electrons known as an ion. Ions may be positively or negatively charged, depending on whether they have an excess of protons or electrons.
In an ordinary piece of material the numbers of protons and electrons within each atom, and therefore within the material as a whole, are equal. The positive and negative charges cancel each other to a large extent, and no electrical effects are observed. But if extra charges of one type are added, the material is left with a net charge and electrical effects result.
Charges can be transferred from one material to another by rubbing them together. The study of these net stationary charges and their effects on each other constitutes the subject of static electricity or electrostatics.
In certain solid materials—metals in particular—some electrons are sufficiently «free» to be able to move through the material in a stream, forming an electric current. This is the basis of current electricity.
Solids, liquids, and gases can all conduct electric current if there are enough free electrons or ions. Electrons and positively charged ions move in opposite directions through the material, but in general both contribute to the current in a conducting medium. In an insulator, the electrons are too firmly fixed by chemical bonding to be able to move, and the material does not normally conduct electricity.
Static electricity. Static electricity can be produced by rubbing an insulating material such as a polyethylene rod with dry cloth. Charges are transferred so that the polyethylene is left with a net charge of one type and the cloth with a net charge of the other type. The rod and cloth then attract each other.
On the other hand, two rubbed rods of the same material repel, and the two cloths repel. Unlike charges thus experience a force of attraction, whereas like charges repel each other.
It is impossible to find a material that is repelled by both polyethylene and cloth.
Electrostatic induction. Although nothing is repelled by both polyethylene and cloth, uncharged pieces of material (for example, small scraps of paper) are attracted to both. This results from a phenomenon called electrostatic induction. The paper is neutral overall, but the influence of the charged polyethylene redistributes the charges in the paper. The polyethylene is positively charged and exerts an attractive force on the paper’s negative charges The net result is mutual attraction.
Coulomb’s law and electric field. The forces of electrostatic attraction and repulsion between charged objects are caused by the electric fields associated with them. The magnitude of the force between two charges depends on their size, distance apart, and the substance they are in.The force is proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them – a relationship known as Coulomb’s law.
The force also decreases if the charges are placed in a material that undergoes electrical polarization, which separates the charges and has the effect of partly shielding them from each other. The amount of shielding is quantified by a property called the permittivity of a substance. A vacuum, which cannot undergo polarization, has the lowest permittivity, called the permittivity of free space. The permittivity of other materials depends on their structure; ionic substances such as water, for example, generally have higher permittivities than non-ionic substances.
