Electricity is not a gas solid or liquid. What category would it come under?

Answer 1

Electricity is a word used to describe a group of related phonomena which involve gases, solids and liquids. It is a different group of phenomena from those used to classify matter as gas, solid or liquid (shape, fluidity etc.). Hence substances, from an "electricity" point of view are conductors or insulators, dielectric or non-dielectric etc. depending on whether they conduct electricity, can hold a charge etc.

As electricity is not substance but phenomena, it is not classified as gas, solid or liquid as these categories are for substances only.

Electricity can be classified, at its most basic, as a force alongside gravity, magnetism and nuclear forces. Electricity and magnetism, being closely related, are generally lumped together as electromagnetism.

Answer 2

Not everything is a solid, liquid, or gas. In fact, most materials have properties of all three. Solid/liquid/gas is a kludge they taught you in middle school so that they wouldn't have to teach you about the real properties of matter. Is jello a solid, liquid, or a gas?

Answer 3

It is a flow of energy. It utilises the movement of electrons through solids, liquids and to some extent gases - but is not actually any of those.

Answer 4

electricity is come the category of electron

Answer 5

Electricity is like the wind - it's not a 'thing' but a happening.

Answer 6

Electricity is a force - caused by the movement of electrons.

Answer 7

Electricity is a solid made from its constiutent parts.

Answer 8

energy. technically it is a solid. as it is made of electrons, which make up matter/atoms
