This chart shows Electricity Production by Country.
Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and flow of electric charge. Electricity gives a wide variety of well-known effects, such as lightning, static electricity, electromagnetic induction and electric current. In addition, electricity permits the creation and reception of electromagnetic radiation such as radio waves.
In electricity, charges produce electromagnetic fields which act on other charges. Electricity occurs due to several types of physics:
1. electric charge: a property of some subatomic particles, which determines their electromagnetic interactions. Electrically charged matter is influenced by, and produces, electromagnetic fields, electric charges can be positive or negative.
2. electric field : charges are surrounded by an electric field. The electric field produces a force on other charges. Changes in the electric field travel at the speed of light.
3. electric potential : the capacity of an electric field to do work on an electric charge, typically measured in volts.
4. electric current : a movement or flow of electrically charged particles, typically measured in amperes.
5. electromagnets : Moving charges produce a magnetic field. Electric currents generate magnetic fields, and changing magnetic fields generate electric currents.
Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power from other sources of primary energy. For electric utilities, it is the first process in the delivery of electricity to consumers. The other processes, electricity transmission, distribution, and electrical power storage and recovery using pumped-storage methods are normally carried out by the electric power industry.
