That's electricity by chemistry. Electricity by physics is done by moving a magnet relative to a wire, for example as the alternator in a car does

Yeah, can you tell I went to school for chemistry? I hadn't even thought about electromagnets or explaining circuits, capacitors and V = IR.

Yeah, my high school was history, history, maths, and maths, at least year 11 and 12 I did double maths and double history. I think I learnt more about electricity when I got into amateur radio, the licence for that is pretty detailed
