ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Universal power

Universal power is what makes all things that use electricity work. Just like how water is needed for a plant to grow, electricity is needed for things like light bulbs, phones, and TVs to work.

Think of it like a big picnic. The universal power is the basket that holds all the things we need for the picnic. Without the basket, we wouldn't have everything we need to have a fun picnic. The same goes for electricity. Without universal power, things like our phones and computers wouldn't work.

This power is generated by big machines that turn other fuels, like coal or natural gas, into electricity. It is then sent through cables and wires to our homes and businesses. This is why when you plug in your phone to charge it, the electricity can flow through the cord and give your phone the energy it needs to turn on and work.

So, in short, universal power is what makes all things that need electricity work. It's like a big basket full of energy that we can use to power our gadgets and technology.
