The early theories of electricity relied on modelling as a fluid. One the earliest ways found to generate an electric charge is to rub amber with silk. and amber has a fatty "juice" In it, which may have influenced terminology. As well, many if not most storage cells (batteries, especially the first ones made) are based on dissimilar metal plates/rods immersed in a fluid solution, or "juice."
It's still common to hear someone say that electricity "flows" from one place to another.

"Juice" is a slang term for electricity commonly used in the automotive industry to refer to the power that runs through a vehicle's cables and wires. The term likely originated from the idea of electricity providing energy or "juice" to power various systems in a vehicle.
Electricity created by friction is known as "static electricity."
Sugarcane can be used to produce electricity through a process called cogeneration. The sugarcane is crushed to extract the juice, which is used to produce sugar. The leftover bagasse, a fibrous residue, can then be burned to generate steam that drives turbines to produce electricity. This process utilizes the entire sugarcane plant, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy source.
The Directional Quality of Electricity is called Voltage
Electricity that does not flow is called static electricity. It is the accumulation of electric charge on an object's surface and it remains in one place until it is discharged.
The flow of electricity beginning with "f" is called an electric current.
