Elektrina is a form of energy associated with the presence and movement of electric charges. It can appear as static electricity, produced by imbalances of charge on surfaces, or as an electric current, in which charges flow through conductors. The rate of charge flow is called current and is measured in amperes; electric power is measured in watts, and energy use is commonly expressed in kilowatt-hours.

Elektrina is described by Maxwell's equations, which relate electric and magnetic fields. Key historical milestones include Coulomb's law, Ohm's law, and Faraday's law of induction, which describe forces between charges, the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance, and how changing magnetic fields generate electric currents.

Elektrina is generated in power plants from various energy sources such as fossil fuels, nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar. It is transmitted through high-voltage grids and stepped down by transformers for distribution to homes and businesses. Increasingly, electricity is also produced locally from rooftop solar, small wind turbines, and other decentralized sources.

Electricity powers lighting, heating, motors, electronics, and transportation, among many applications. Common units include the volt (V) for potential difference, the ampere (A) for current, and the watt (W) for power; energy use is often reported in kilowatt-hours (kWh).

Safety considerations include risks of electric shock, fire, and equipment damage, which are mitigated by standards for insulation, grounding, and circuit protection. Environmental aspects focus on the emissions and resource use of electricity generation; shifting toward cleaner, renewable sources reduces overall environmental impact.
