Originates from the power company's (usually the local utility) grid where they generate electric power for sale and distribution.
A generator can be used as a temporary source of power
DC electricity is direct current, compared to AC which is alternating current where the current is consistantly changing direction, direct current does not change direction. The main source of DC is a battery.

a current of water to move the energy producing aparatus.
Voltage -the rate at which energy is drawn from a source that produces a flow of electricity in a circuit; expressed in voltsCurrent - a flow of electricity through a conductor; "the current was measured in amperes"
Hydroelectricity does what all electricity does. Hydro refers to the source of the electricity (generated by moving water) rather than the nature of the electric current itself.
Circuit means a current of electricity going thruogh a power source and resistance.
With electricity from the mains, the current chages direction 50 times each second, so it is called alternating current.
A path for electricity to flow is called a circuit. In a circuit, electrical current can flow from the power source through a conductor (such as a wire) to power an electrical device before returning to the power source. A complete circuit is necessary for electricity to flow.
The two basic types of electricity are static electricity and current electricity. Static electricity involves the build-up of charge on an object, while current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.
A battery is a source for electricity. A flashlight and a radio are not a source for electricity.
Alternating Current (AC) is the type of electricity typically used in households. With AC, the magnitude and direction of electricity vary. Direct current (DC) is a source of electricity that does not vary in direction. An example of a DC source is a battery, or solar cells. The main difference between the two types of currents is simply the direction, as made quite clear by the names: AC = varied direction and magnitude where as DC = continuous current. Alternate current cannot stored but direct current can be stored examples in case of battery cells
