Electricity is briefly defined as the flow of electric charge Charge is a property of matter–just like mass, volume, or density. It is measurable. Just as you can quantify how much mass something has, you can measure how much charge it has. The key concept with charge is that it can come in two types: positive (+) or negative (-) . In order to move charge we need charge carriers , and that’s where our knowledge of atomic particles–specifically electrons and protons–comes in handy. Electrons always carry a negative charge, while protons are always positively charged. Neutrons (true to their name) are neutral, they have no charge. Both electrons and protons carry the same amount of charge, just a different type. While electrons carry negative charge, the protons carry positive charge. Current electricity is the form of electricity which makes all of our electronic gizmos possible. This form of electricity exists when charges are able to c...
