It flows through the wires...DUH!!!!! lol

Electricity is the flow of charge from positive terminal to negetive terminal.. opposites attract..hence here negetive attracts the positive.. If u consider a wire of any length and apply a positive charge to one side of the wire and touch the other end of the wire to the ground or rather floor .. then electricity will flow through it.. because earth is a bank of electrons and electrons are negetively charged.. there is one answerer as Tommy he said "flow of electrons" well i want to clear this and state that electrons doesnt flow .. the CHARGE flows.. if electron flows then a time will come when all the electrons will be over and the material used to transfer the electric charge will become an insulator (which doesnt allow the electric charge to pass thorugh it is known as an insulator).. so Mr. Tommy do u mean to say is that a wire become an insulator after certain period of usage.. certainly not..
The study of flow of charge from one end to other is known as Electonics...

The easiest way to explain electrical flow is to think of the electrons that are moving in a wire to that of water in a pipe. When you turn on a faucet water flows out. When you turn on a light switch electricty flows to a light or other device. A copper wire is a good conductor for electricity. In other words it can flow through it. Rubber or glass is just the opposite. It stops the flow. That is why they are used to insulate the copper wire which keeps us from getting shocked.

Simply speaking, think of amper as the force behind the current or to use the creek example the pressure behind the water. Current is the flow rate and voltage is the speed at which it moves. Thus V=voltage, C=current and A=amper, a standard tri-nomial formuli is V=c/a or C=v/a or A=c/v in other word to figure out what the voltage is divide the current by the amps or 120 current divided by 2 amps= 60volts. Etc. Hope this helps.

electricity flows in a wire from one electron to another and so on and so forth.
