matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. therefore electricity must contain matter.

electricity is the flow (or current) of electrons from a higher potential to a lower potential. along the way, some or lots of the electrons get hijacked to do things like light lightbulbs (causing atoms excited by the electrons to emit a photon) or magnetic fields to work motors, or storing charge to switch switches in computers and memory and TV's, etc. All this also wastes some energy/electrons in heat. But anyways, "electricity", which is that river of electrons is made up of electrons, each of which has mass equal to 9.10956 x 10-31 kg

electricity does contain matter. it consists of protons/electrons, and the flow of these (usually electrons) is described as electric current.

I think it does ... in the sense that electricity is the movement of electrons thru the wire. Aren't electrons matter?

Anything with mass is matter. Actually electricity has mass and is therefore matter.

why do you want it to?
