Electricity what is it? Electricity is also known as electrical energy which is the flow of moving electrons. Electrons are from atoms which have three different components with different charges. There are protons with a positive charge‚ neutrons with a neutral charge‚ and electrons with a negative charge. But the negatively charged electrons are useless if they don’t have a circuit to travel on. A circuit is a system that is made of three different components and they are: an energy source
