Understanding Electricity

Electricity is the invisible force that powers our modern world but what exactly is it?

Everything in the universe is made of atoms which contain tiny particles called electrons.

Electricity is simply the flow of these electrons as they move from one atom to

another. Materials like copper are great conductors because they let electrons flow through

them very easily. In a closed circuit this constant flow of energy can be used

to power our devices. From smartphones to entire cities electricity is the energy

that keeps our world moving forward.
