The difference between electricity and a current

All the words that start with "electr" come from the word "elecktor" which means "beaming sun". Electricity refers to a set of phenomena associated with presence or movement of electric charges. In Greek, "elektron" means amber.

Electricity can refer to static electricity, stationary or moving charges. It is a fundamental energy that occurs in positive and negative forns, observable in nature or produced by a generator. It is expressed in terms of interaction or movement of charges.

It is a broad term encompassing all things associated with electric charges or current and its effects.

Current is the flow of electrons or charges across a given cross section or area.
