Lightning is due to a large amount of electric charge moving from one cloud to the next. B. Current Electricity is created. Current electricity is a flow of electrons that is generated by such things as a battery or generator. Electromotive force is the pressure that pushes an electric current through a circuit. The electromotive force pushes electrons through an object creating a stream of electrons in one direction.
Electrons jump from one atom to the next.
Electric energy can move in certain directions creating an electric current. Cars and trains use direct current. Radios and televisions use alternating current and direct current. An electric current must flow in a complete path. The current begins at the source, through the wires, and back to the source.
