Aug 25, 2016 at 18:13 comment added HaLeiVi Not an answer, but noteworthy. The Sforno in Vayakhel writes that fire is prohibited because of how central it is to any Melacha. Electricity definitely fits the bill. However, obviously we can't Pasken based on reasons we derive.

Dec 25, 2011 at 16:53 comment added Double AA I know this is an unusual source, but it seems someone did a very good job writing it up. See here. But really as far as I can tell electricity has the same rules as magnetism (it's the same force after all): don't do any Melakha with it.
Dec 25, 2011 at 14:50 comment added wizlog (In the most respectful tone possible): Can someone please give me an answer already?
Dec 25, 2011 at 6:37 comment added avi @msh210 agreed. I just remembered so many answers on this topic, I thought the question must have been asked before.
Dec 25, 2011 at 4:08 comment added msh210 There are several answers that have discussed the issue, but no question that addressed it head on. I'm strongly inclined not to close this, and hope it generates (oy) some good answers.
Dec 25, 2011 at 2:49 comment added Goodbye Stack Exchange @AvrohomYitzchok - Certainly, that's a variation of this. That answer goes into detail on the creating of letterforms, but also covers electricity. If this gets closed, so be it, but I think there's no reason not to have variations open. Perhaps, to be a more useful question, this one could focus more on, say, the history of the issue? (The final sentence of this question hints at that in any case.)

Dec 24, 2011 at 21:28 comment added Goodbye Stack Exchange @avi - Oddly enough, I can't find a question on use of electricity in Shabbat that's a general one. Anyone else?
