There are several ways to "contain" electricity: 1. In a capacitor. A capacitor is a device which can store ("contain") a static electrical charge as potential energy in an electric field. 2. In a battery. A battery is a device which can store ("contain") electrical energy in the form of potential chemical energy either as a result of the original manufacturing process or by reversable means as in a rechargable battery. 3. In an insulated conductor (a wire). An insulated conductor, including a bare conductor in air, gas, or vacuum, contains electricity in the sense that it restricts it to flowing within the conductor only and not "escaping" elsewhere. Some other ways of "containing" electricity essentially constitute capacitors, such as a storm cloud capable of producing lightning. It's a stretch, but one might also consider a generator to "contain" electricity. In any case, be careful!
