    Electricity

    The invisible energy that allows electrons to flow in a closed circuit and perform work.

    Positive Charge

    A body gains a positive charge when some of its electrons are removed.

    Free Electrons

    Electrons loosely attached to the nucleus of an atom that can move freely when energy is applied.

    Coulomb

    The practical unit of charge, representing the amount of charge carried by 6.24 x 10^18 electrons.
