Electric Vocabulary

Based on my knowledge about electricity, I believe it's a very fun topic to talk about and it's also very important for the human use. Electricity is made up of several things. It all starts in a nucleus, where atoms such neutrons (neutral charge) and protons (positive charge) are located. This nucleus is surrounded by electrons, which is actually negative charge. Electricity flows through conductors. Conductors are actually made up materials that allow electrons (negative charge) to flow through freely. Electricity does not flow through insulators, the electrons just sit there. For example a balloon; a balloon is an insulator because once the static energy has reached the object it just sits there and attracts positively charged objects.
