Hi Nostalgia!

Electricity is the term used to encompass a variety of phenomena resulting from the presence and flow of charges.

Electric charge is a property of matter which causes it to experience a force when near other electrically charged matter.

Electric current is the flow of electric charges.

Volt is the S.I. unit of potential difference.
