What is electricity?



So, before we even begin to understand electromagnetism, we need to understand two key ideas of science. These are electricity and the way magnets work. Today we will take a look at electricity.

There are many different types of energy such as; static electricity and current electricity, but for this explanation of electromagnetism we will just focus on electricity in general.

Electricity is the flow of electrical power or charge. It is a form of energy. Electricity involves the flow of electrons, which are a subatomic particle found in atoms. It is one of the most used sources of energy that we used today.
