The simple-form character 电 (5 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 電 (13 strokes), omitting the upper full-form component 雨 (8 strokes), and lengthening the top of the last stroke 乚 (as in old forms).
The full-form character 電 (13 strokes) is itself an abbrev. of old forms such as 𩃓 (16 strokes), replacing the old component 𦥔 (8 strokes) with 申 (5 strokes).
The Shuōwén Seal form of 電(𩃓) diàn ‘thunderbolt/lightning’ (雷光) combines 雨 (yǔ) ‘rain’, and 电/申(𦥔) shēn (phonosemantic); formerly wr. 𩃿.
Note: The component 电/申(𦥔𢑚𦦀) shēn ‘female/flexible’ here represents the collision of two air masses (as the friction between two hands rubbing together) producing lightning (static electricity).
Note: The simple form is 电 diàn (as an independent character), but 电/申 shēn (as the component) in 電; in the modern forms 电/電 the old component 𦥔 is abbrev., cf. 申
In the common full form 電 the top of the last stroke 乚 is omitted, and the end of that stroke 乚 is curved.
In the modern simplified form 电 the top of 申 (formerly 𦥔) is restored, but the top component 雨 of the full form is omitted.
Compare: 雷/靁 léi ‘thunder’, formerly also wr. 𩇓, 𤴐.
Compare: 虹(𧍺) hóng ‘rainbow’; 龙(龍𥪖) lóng ‘dragon’.
Compare: 甩 shuǎi ‘swing’; 甲 jiǎ (天干).
