Electricity is a form of energy carried by the movement of electrons between atoms. Atoms are composed of subatomic particles including electrons, which carry a negative charge, and protons, which carry a positive charge in the nucleus. An electric current is created when an outside force causes electrons to break free from one atom and flow to the next in a conductor.

1. What Is Electricity?
Electricity is a form of energy carried by the movement of electrons. An electron is a particle
that orbits the center of an atom. The electrons of some atoms, like those of copper and other
metals, are only loosely attached, which allows electricity to travel through these materials
easily. These types of materials are known as “conductors.”
Electricity is a form of energy that starts with atoms. Atoms are too small to see, but they make
up everything around us. All atoms are composed of subatomic particles among which are the
charged particles known as electrons and protons. Protons, which are found in the nucleus of an
atom, carry a positive charge (+), and electrons, which spin around the center of an atom, carry
a negative charge (-). Neutrons also exist in the nucleus of a typical atom and are uncharged.
Electricity is a form of energy that is associated with the buildup and movement of electrons and
protons. Electricity can be created by forcing electrons to flow from atom to atom. The force or
push of electricity is measured in volts.
An outside force—such as light, heat, pressure, or a chemical reaction—can cause electrons to
break free and get “bumped” from one atom to the next. A sequence of electrons then passes
from atom to atom. This continuous flow of electrons from atom to atom through a conductor is
called electric current.
Electric Current
An outside force causes one or more electrons to get"bumped" to an adjacent atom, whichin
turn forces thatatom to give up one or more electrons to the atom next to it, and soon along
the length of the conductor.
