Electricity is a form of energy that powers homes, schools, factories, and machines. It is generated from various sources such as coal, natural gas, water (hydropower), wind, and the Sun (solar power). Electricity has made life easier by powering lights, fans, computers, and transportation systems. However, wasting electricity can lead to energy shortages and increased pollution from power plants.
