electrical
Powered by wires
Electrical describes things relating to or powered by electricity.
An electrical engineer works with electrical systems; an electrical outlet provides power.
The word overlaps considerably with electric, though electrical tends toward the technical or systemic: electrical wiring, electrical current, electrical equipment.
Electric more often suggests the dramatic or energizing: an electric atmosphere, electric guitar.
