elektrischer

Elektrischer is a German adjective meaning related to electricity, i.e., electrical. It is used to describe devices, systems, or phenomena powered by or involving electric energy, as in electric circuits, electric motors, or electrical engineering.

In German grammar, elektrischer is the attributive form of Elektrizität and must agree with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case. Examples include: ein elektrischer Strom (masculine, singular, nominative), ein elektrisches Gerät (neuter, singular, nominative), eine elektrische Spannung (feminine, singular, nominative), die elektrische Energie (feminine, singular, nominative), and elektrische Geräte (plural). The form changes with case, e.g., des elektrischen Stroms, dem elektrischen Gerät, der elektrischen Spannung.

The term is pervasive in technical and everyday language to describe anything associated with electric power or phenomena, such as elektrische Anlagen, elektrische Leitungen, and elektrische Messungen. It also appears in compound nouns and technical terms, reflecting its role as a productive root in German engineering and physics terminology.

Etymology-wise, elektrischer derives from Elektrizität (electricity) with the standard German adjectival suffix -er, and it participates in typical adjective inflection. While primarily an ordinary descriptive term, it may surface in names or nicknames in German-speaking regions, though such usage is uncommon outside specific contexts. In general usage, elektrischer serves as a straightforward descriptor across science, industry, and daily life.
