Electricity is the energy created by elementary particles like electrons and it is sent via electrical cables for human usage indirectly. It travells in a wave form.
The signals are in electrical impulse. Many forms of electricity is there like from windmills, hydrodams and other turbines run from diesel. Electricity is an overall stored power in the form of current, having the power to activate the electrons upon the turning on of a switch.......

This all depends on if your talking about AC or DC current. Alternating current is a charge that goes back and forth at a really fast rate. However Direct current is a charge of electrons that go in a single direction. It goes to the protons then making them neutral. Thus creating neutrons. Its kind of the same thing with AC current . You cannot create a device that will hold/store a way to make AC current most of our electronic devises have a converter in them that converts the AC current into DC thus using capacitors to store the needed current

the whole electricity is impossible to be explained in 5 lines

Electricity is a naturally occurring force that has existed all around us. Humans have noticed this force for many centuries. Ancient man believed that electricity was some form of magic because they did not understand it.

1. The scientist's definition: "Electricity" means the electrons and protons, the electric charge.

2. The everyday definition: "Electricity" means the electromagnetic field energy sent out by batteries and generators.

3. The grade-school definition: "Electricity" refers to the flowing motion of electric charge.

4. "Electricity" refers to the amount of imbalance between quantities of electrons and protons.

5. "Electricity" is nothing other than the classes of phenomena involving electric charges.

Electricity is a property of certain subatomic particles (e.g. electrons / protons) which couples to electromagnetic fields and causes attractive and repulsive forces between them. Electricity gives rise to one of the four fundamental forces of nature, and is a conserved property of matter that can be quantified.

I would like to put out there that Ohm's Law doesn't state I=vR (as written above)

It states that V = I R

V = voltage drop across a resistor (Volts)
I = Current (Amps)
R = Resistance (Ohms)

flow of electrons thro the conductor

it depends upon the resistance of the conductor and current passing thro it.

ohm's law states that


I=vR

I is the current flowing thro the conductor

R is the resistance of the conductor
v is the voltage
