Electricity 

Electricity is a general term that refers to the flow of electrical power or charge. It is a basic form of energy that is essential for many everyday activities. There are two types of electricity: direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). DC electricity is produced by batteries, while AC electricity is supplied by power plants and other electric utilities.

Electricity flows through conductors, such as wires, to provide power to devices that use it. Electric circuits are used to control the flow of electricity in order to provide power to devices that need it. The main components of an electric circuit are a source of energy (such as a battery), a conductor (such as a wire), and a load (such as a light bulb). The term “electricity” can also refer to the study of electrical phenomena. This includes the physics of how electrons behave in materials, the generation and transmission of electrical signals, and the design of electrical circuits.
