eletricamente

Eletricamente is a Portuguese adverb used to indicate that something operates by electricity or is powered by electrical energy. It can modify verbs and adjectives to describe methods, processes, or sources of energy, and is common in technical writing as well as everyday speech.

It is formed from the adjective elétrico (electric) plus the adverbial suffix -mente. The term is widely used in both Brazilian and European Portuguese to denote electrical operation or energy conversion, and it frequently appears in engineering, physics, and consumer electronics contexts.

In practice, eletricamente describes how a device or process obtains energy or performs work using electricity, as distinct from mechanical, hydraulic, or chemical means. Example sentences include: "The motor operates electrically," "The heater is powered electrically," and "The system uses electricity as its energy source." In translations, eletricamente is typically rendered as electrically.
