Electricity is a form of energy. It is produced by movement or flow of electrons. Electrons are tiny, tiny particles in atoms. The movement of electrons causes an electrical charge or voltage releases energy. The energy yield can be huge, like a lightning flash. But it can be very small, like a bulb of a flashlight case.

How many types of energy are there?
There are basically two types of energy, namely static and dynamic electricity. Static electricity is a kind of electricity that is not moved. For example in storm clouds growing static electricity and the subsequent transfer, the lightning discharge. Along the rubbing together things can generate static electricity, sometimes strong enough spark to jump. Dynamic electricity is a flow of electricity through a wire.

Who took the battery out?
The Italian scientist Alessandro Volta in 1800, took the battery out! He was the first from electric powered generation. The name Volta is the basic for the term V.

What makes electricity?
Power – Electricity is generated by batteries and generators (also known as power generators)
Battery – In a battery there are certain chemicals that pass into other chemicals and thereby produce an electric energy. The battery works until all the original chemicals are converted in the other, then the battery is empty or exhausted.
Generator – An electrical generator must be powered in order to generate electricity. A generator contains permanent magnets and wire windings (coils), which supply electricity when they are rotating.
