- Bioelectricity — Many animals are sensitive to electric fields, some (e.g., sharks) more than others (e.g., people). Most also generate their own electric fields.
- Gymnotiformes, such as the electric eel, deliberately generate strong fields to detect or stun their prey.
- Neurons in the nervous system transmit information by electrical impulses known as action potentials.
- Matter — since atoms and molecules are held together by electric forces.
- The Earth's magnetic field — created by electric currents circulating in the planet's core.
- Sometimes due to solar flares, a phenomenon known as a power surge can be created, which can be very damaging to sensitive electrical equipment such as computers. However, such damage can be prevented by using a surge protector.
