If you ever hear you cloth crackle when you take them of, you will have made your own electricity. Electricity is a form of energy, carried by tiny particles of matter. When these particles are on the move, their energy can do lots of useful things. Closely linked with electricity is magnetism. This is an invisible force that makes things attract or repel each other, and can be strong enough to lift cars off the ground.
How does electricity move through a wire?
Electric currents are carried by particles called electrons, which are part of atoms. When a current flows through a wire, electron are jolted from atom to atom, carrying energy with them. Unlike static electricity, electric currents can only move through conductors, such as electric wires, and they always travel in a circuit. Conductor are metals and similar substances which have electrons that are easily dislodged.
