  2. What is Electricity? • The supply of electric current to a house or other building for heating, lighting, or powering appliances.

  3. How Does it Work? • Electricity comes from the movement of electrons, which electrons are tiny particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom. When enough electrical energy is added to the electrons-after flipping on a switch, or plugging in a cord, or adding a battery-they can escape from their normal orbit and flow along a path.That's mostly how people use electricity . . . we make it flow along a path into things like light bulbs, refrigerators and CD players. The path electrons follow is called a circuit.
