Can electricity be created?

All the electricity you use has been created by humans. Electricity is energy which results from the behaviour of charged particles: electrons and protons. Electricity, as in electric current, can be created by man using machines such as generators to power tools and devices which are operated by electric power. Electricity can also occur naturally, and has done so since before humans were around to work out how to use it; lightning and static (frictional) electricity are examples.
