What is Electricity?

Would you imagine your home without electricity? There would be no TV, computer or video games. You'd have to do your homework and your housekeeping by candlelights or oil lamps. You wouldn't be able to listen to your favourite artists and bands on the radio or CD player.

So, there are many things that we couldn't be able to do without electricity.

But, what is electricity?

Electricity is a form of energy that starts with atoms. You can't see atoms because they're too small, but they make up everything around us. There are three parts to an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons. Electricity is created when electrons move from atom to atom. There are a number of ways to make electrons move, but most electricity is produced at power plants.
