Solution

You are right that electrons revolve around nucleus i.e. protons,and protons attracts the electrons with a great force .

The electrons on the outer orbit of the atom are called valence electrons. With enough outside force, a valence electron can escape orbit of the atom and become free. Free electrons allow us to move charge and thus generates electricity.
