Maybe, but I feel electricity is mysterious, eh? I mean, we don't know what it is, nor why the Universe has it, and we aren't likely to ever figure it out, eh? Really that's all I was trying to point out with that: we know how electricity behaves but we don't know what it is. Sometimes people get hung up on that.

In any event, I usually recommend William Beaty's 'What Is "Electricity"?' http://amasci.com/miscon/whatis.html
