- unit 4: static and current electricityPhysical phenomenon associated with the presence and flow of electric charge is known as electricity. In Ethiopia and elsewhere around the world, people depend on electricity to provide power for most appliances in the home, at work and out in the world in general. For example, lights, electric heating and electric stoves that you use in your home all depend on elecu0002tricity to work. To realize just how big impact electricity has on our daily lives, just think about what happens when there is a power failure. Thus, electricity has an important place in modern society. It is a controllable and convenient form of energy for a variety of uses in homes, schools, industries and so on. In this unit, you will learn topics related to electricity.58
