- Electroluminescence
- Electrical conduction
- Elves [1]
- Ferroelectric effect
- Photoconductivity
- Piezoelectric effect
- Galvanic current generated by two different metals in contact
- Photoelectric effect
- Pyroelectric effect
- Sprites [2]
- Static electricity static cling
- Sparks and lightning
- Telluric currents
- Triboelectric effect (materials which develop a charge when rubbed)
