What is Electricity?

        Electricity is a kind of energy that makes lights, refrigerators, factory machines, televisions, satellites in space, and some cars work.

        The energy in electricity comes from tiny particles called electrons. You can't see an electron. It's too small. It would take 10 million electrons lying side-by-side in a straight line to cover the tip of a sharpened pencil.
