electrokinetic
Electricity causes movement
Electrokinetic describes phenomena involving the motion of particles or fluids under the influence of an electric field.
The term appears in physics and engineering contexts: electrokinetic remediation uses electric currents to remove contaminants from soil, while electrokinetic effects govern how charged particles move through liquids.
In science fiction, electrokinetic often refers to the psychic ability to control electricity.
