Explanation

Electricity is a form of energy that powers many things we use every day. It makes lights glow, fans spin, televisions work, and phones charge. Electricity flows through wires, and we get it from power stations that may use coal, water, wind, or sunlight to create it. Without electricity, we would not have computers, refrigerators, or even internet access. For example, when you switch on a light bulb, electricity flows to it and makes it shine. Electricity is one of the most important inventions in human history.
