Introduction to Electricity What is electricity? Nobody really knows. We only know how to produce machinery and appliances. The most important aspect of electricity it, understand its properties, and how to control it. Electricity is the in our society is that it allows energy to be easily transported over movement of sub-atomic charged particles (called electrons) through distances. -
