Solution

Electricity is a flow of tiny particles called electrons which can travel through wires.
expression can be given by : $I = \frac{Q}{t}$

This flow is often called an 'electric current'. Just like water, which can only flow down a hill, an electric current can only flow if there's something to give it a 'push'.
