Electricity (from Greek ήλεκτρον (electron) "amber") is a general term for the variety of phenomena resulting from the presence and flow of electric charge. Together with magnetism, it constitutes the fundamental interaction known as electromagnetism. It includes many well-known physical phenomena such as lightning, electric fields and electric currents, and is put to use in industrial applications such as electronics and electric power.

..and when amber is rubbed eg by cloth it is capable of picking up particles of dust, attracting hair, or even deflecting the flow of a polar liquid like water..electrostatics was known long before the means to produce substantial current like batteries or generators were known (the jury is still out on the Iraq 'battery' 1500BC?supposed to run on acetic acid.. and what it was for..a battery of mass electro-plating??)
