Heating effects |
Electricity can be transformed into other forms of energy such as the heat in head lamp bulbs. |
Chemical effects |
Electricity may be used to store energy through chemical reactions such as in a lead acid battery. |
Magnetic effects |
Sending current through coils on a shaft, in a magnetic field, draws them across the field. If the current is accurately switched, this attraction is constantly repeated to produce the rotary motion of the electric motor. |
| Electrical conduction |
The movement of electrically charged particles through matter. |
| Electrical resistance |
A measure of the degree to which an object opposes the passage of an electric current. |
| Electromagnetic field |
An electromagnetic field is considered to be limited to a local area around an object in space. |
