Electricity is the flow of electrons - typically from a negative charge to a positive. Or an abundance of electrons to an abundance of missing electrons.
Charge is measured in Coulombs, the flow of electricity or "current" is measured in Amperes (Amps) which is equal to Coulombs per second.
Electricity flows best through conductors, but does not exclusively flow through the path of least resistance, but more flows through the path of least resistance than through more resistive paths.

the flow of electrons under a pressure. the pressure is voltage. the measurement of the flow of the electrons is called wattage /or amperes. it's a mathematical equation that can be figured out . if you have two known factors ; you can use these two knowns to calculate the third unknown factor. the three factors are called voltage, amps , and wattage. electricity is a force to do work for you

ELECTRICITY. We know how to control it, modify it, transform it, produce it,amplify it. Yet not even the theorists know what it is. It is related to the electro-magnetic force that pervades the universe so go to school and try to figure it out. The flow of electrons through a wire is not enough.

electricity is the flow of free or valance electrons along [not through or in] a conductive material.

All it is is atoms exchanging from one mass to another along the path of least resistance. Think of a string of marbles, when one marble gets added to the bunch, one gets pushed out from the other side. But i could be full of poo.

I may be wrong, but:
The flow of electrons through a conductive substance.
Either that or the thingy that makes my pc work.
