electricity was formed at the inception of our universe, no one knows how or why. In more relevant terms, though, what we refer to as electricity consists of two main parts:

1)Voltage

2)Amperage

Amperage is how many electrons you have. electrons are what moves through the wires and actually powers devices. small devices (i.e. stopwatch, led flashlight) require very little amperage while larger applications (i.e. electric car, Television) require quite a bit more amperage.

Voltage is the difference of charge between where the electrons are, and where they need to go. think of amperage like water in a pipe, and voltage is the pressure.

so to form electrcicty all one need do is amass many many electrons so as to obtain a net negative charge (the charge of an electron is negative), and there are any number of ways to do this (i.e. hydro-electric plant, gas powered generator, etc.)
