In contrast, electricity is intangible and we can’t get an intuitive sense of it in the same way as we do with fuels. But its effects can be seen in static electricity, sparks, lightning; small currents can be felt, and currents above 100 milliamperes may be deadly. Common definitions of electricity are not instinctively accessible, they require a prior knowledge of other functional terms such as “electrons,” “flow,” “charge,” and “current.”
