What is the definition of electricity?

AI Thread Summary
Electricity is defined as the presence and flow of electric charge, which involves the interaction between positively and negatively charged particles. The relationship between electricity and magnetism is fundamental, as a changing electric field generates a magnetic field, and vice versa. This interplay is governed by the electric force, which describes how charged particles attract or repel each other. The concept of the electric field is crucial, as it represents the force exerted by a charged particle on other charges in its vicinity. Understanding these principles is essential for grasping the nature of electricity and its connection to magnetism.

ELECTRICITY till now comfussing for me
what is the difinition of electricity?
why is magnatism and electricity corelated?

It is a fact of nature that positively charged particles attract negatively charged particles and vice-versa. That is referred to as the "electric force". The "electric field" around a charged particle is the force with which it would attract a test charge at that point.
It can be shown by experiment that a changing electric field causes a magnetic field and that a changing magnetic field causes an electric field.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
