Electricity consists components that include an "electron". "Electrons" make the electrical device work. In order for an electron to "move" it must have a conductor. Copper, Aluminum and other metals are conductors. Imagine electrons like little bb's (from a bb gun), line up these bbs in a straw, the straw is the conductor, when you blow into the straw the bbs are pushed out the other end. Blowing into the straw is kind of like voltage. Voltage is differential. What really is happening is the electrons are moving though the conductor and into the electrical device and the conductors and semiconductors in it and are manipulated to make the device work and are then joined to the other working component of electricity which is called a "proton". Like a magnet where opposites attract, electrons are attracted to protons and flow to them.
