Electricity is energy[1] harnessed from the configuration or movement of electrons[2] - the former being static electricity[3], and the latter being the electricity that comes from the electrical outlet[4] or flows through overhead power-lines[5]. Its important to note that when using electricity, the device does not "use up" the electrons (See law of conservation of charge[6]). Rather, it uses up the energy temporarily "held" by the electrons. Because of this, electricity is considered as an energy currency[7]: electricity transfers energy from a power plant[8] (primary energy[9]) to a house (end use energy[10]). After all, that is more convenient than a coal-fired power plant[11] in a neighbourhood (see: Not in my back yard syndrome[12]).

Electricity is responsible for powering phones[13], electric lights[14...
