2 What is Electricity?  Electricity- a form of energy produced by the movement of electrons.  Ben Franklin discovered electricity.

3 Types of Electricity Direct Current, Static Electricity, Alternating Current are some types of Electricity. Electricity flows in two ways; either in alternating current or AC and in direct current or DC. The word electricity comes from the fact that current is nothing more than moving electrons along a conductor, like a wire, that have been held for energy. Therefore, the difference between AC and DC has to do with the direction in which the electrons flow. In Direct Current, the electrons flow steadily in a single direction, or "forward." In Alternating Current, electrons keep switching directions, sometimes going "forwards" and then going "backwards."

4 How does it travel? Electricity flows through wires to all your lights, fans, and other electric appliances. www.wikianswers.com

5 The Metre If you want to measure electricity use volts, amps and watts. The pressure in which electricity flows is called Volts. The amount of electric current is called Amps. Watts measure the amount of electric current under a certain amount of pressure. Watts are named after the inventor of the steam engine, James Watt. http://answers.yahoo.com © http://answers.yahoo.com
