The flow of an electrical charge is called a current. Many of the devices we use every day are powered by an electrical current running through metal wires.
The complexities of electricity are addressed by "standup scientist" Bill Nye in this episode of his celebrated series. Through the use of clever, but very silly, graphics, music videos from his Sounds of Science, and guest scientists, Nye keeps the pace quick, and the discussion lively. He traces electricity down to electrons, and from there to the atoms that are the building blocks of everything. One of the highlights of the show is the performance of "AC/DC Charge," a parody of Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart."
