It is niether. Electricity is a form of energy, not matter. It is a potential difference laid across a circuit. It just means that you have movement of electrons and a magnetic force. So, of course, since it's not even matter, no, it cannot be stopped or seen. If you're thinking of a spark, such as a static shock on a trampoline, that is plasma, the fourth type of matter. Electricity travels exceptionally well in plasma because it is made up only of free electrons and ions (electrically charged particles.) Lightning as well as stars are made up of plasma.

Electricity is a type of energy, it's not matter. You can't stop energy from being transferred, and you can't see it, you can only see the energy that it is transferred into.
