What is Electricity?

Electricity is a fundamental form of energy that moves invisibly through wires. It powers various devices, making modern life easier and faster, and is essential for daily activities in homes, schools, offices, and transportation.

Define an Electric Circuit.

An electric circuit is a closed path through which electric current flows. For a device like a bulb to glow, the circuit must be complete, forming a full loop; an incomplete or broken circuit will prevent current flow.
