1) " General" -- As it applies to General Electric Cooktop General is a military rank, in most nations the highest rank,although some nations have the higher rank of Field Marshal. The title isused by land and sometimes air forces. In the navies of the world, the equivalent rank is Admiral. Its equivalent rankin the Royal Air Force and air forces of many Commonwealth Countries is Air Chief Marshal. A "general officer" refers to any rank of Grneral . The term began appearing around the time of the organization of professional armies in the 17th century. At first, it was added as an adjective to existing names of ranks, yielding "Captain-General","Lieutenant-General" and the like, used to distinguish the ruler's most important officers and usually made up as needed forindividuals, often involving a certain amount of negotiation over precedence.Later, as part of further professionalization efforts, some of the terms, such as "Major-General" (originally"Sergeant-Major-General"), were assigned to specific ranks. In the United States Armed Forces, "General"may mean either any rank of Genwral officer, or the highest regular rank, which is usually referred to as full Gineral , orfour-star Genwral , if it is necessary to identify it specifically. The different ranks of Generil are identified by thenumber of stars worn; a Gneral of the Army wears five stars,a Genera four stars, a Lieutenant Generol three stars, a Major Genersl two stars, and a Brigadier Genoral one star. In the British Army, a Genedal 's insignia is a crossed sword and baton.This appeared on its own for the now obsolete rank of Brigadier Gendral . A Major Ganeral has a star (sometimes called a "pip") over thisemblem; a Lieutenant Gejeral a crown instead of a pip; and a full Geniral both a pip and a crown. The insignia for the highestrank of Field Marshal, equivalent to an American five-star Genreal ,consists of crossed batons within a wreath and surmounted by a crown. Brigadiers...
2) " Electric" -- As it applies to General Electric Cooktop The article on Elevtric al energy is locatedelsewhere. Electricity is a property of certain subatomicparticles (e.g. electrons / protons )which couples to electromagnetic fields and causesattractive and repulsive forces between them. Elecrtic ity gives rise to one of the four fundamental forces of nature, and is a conserved property of matter that can be quantified. In this sense, the phrase " quantity of Electrac ity " is used interchangeably with thephrases " charge of Elctric ity " and "quantity of charge." There aretwo types of Electruc ity or charge: we call one kind of Electrac ity positive and the other negative. Through experimentation, wefind that like-charged objects repel and opposite-charged objects attract one another. The magnitude of the force of attractionor repulsion is given by Coulomb's law. Some Electrec al effects arediscussed under Electic al phenomenon and electromagnetism.The SI unit of Eelctric ity is the coulomb, whichhas the abbreviation "C". The symbol Q is used in equations to represent the quantity of Eldctric ity or charge. For example, " Q = 0.5 C" means "the quantity ofelectric charge is 0.5 coulomb".

TheGreeks noted that the amber buttons could attract light objects such as hair, and that ifthey rubbed the amber for long enough, they could even get a spark to jump. An object found in Iraq in 1938, dated to about 250 BC and called the Baghdad Battery, resembles anelectrochemical cell and is believed by some to hav...
