Build up of negative charge and positive and when you connect a conductor to them both electrons are going to flow and that's electricity.

4

How fast does it travle

Electrons will travel 0.02cm/s or 1.2in/min

5

How does lightning happen

Everything is causing friction in the cloud which strips electrons which will create a pocket of negative charge in the cloud. The charge becomes so big that it overcomes the insulation of air and BOOM!

6

Do devices run out of electrons

No they just become nutural

7

What do currents look like

Movement of electrons

8

How are circuits created

Voltage source - closed path- and load

9

Do things need to be plugged in to have current flow
