Electricity is one of the many forms of energy naturally occurring in the universe. Specifically, electricity is the flow of electrons through a conductor, like a wire.

It comes from other forms of energy. In the case of a power plant it comes from burning of fuel, nuclear reactions, rays of sunlight, or the flow of water or air to name a few.

Electricity can come from various sources, such as fossil fuels (like coal, natural gas), nuclear power, hydroelectric dams, wind turbines, solar panels, and geothermal energy. It is generated at power plants and then transmitted through power lines to homes, businesses, and other buildings for use.

Electricity is a form of energy caused by the movement of electrons along the outer edge of an atom.

Electricity comes from the power plant, and it is made from fossil fuels, so which are made of prehistoric matter so if we use up all of the fossil fuels there will be no electricity unless the whole worlds gets wind farms to create energy to make electricity.

Electrical energy is made by a generator. Most generators produce ac and are also called alternators, while generators that make dc are dynamos.

To produce electrical energy a generator need a supply of mechanical energy, which is usually supplied by a rotating shaft driven by wind, water or an engine that burns fuel.
