Electricity is in the form of electrons, which have mass. Everything that has mass is influenced by gravity. Therefore, why doesn’t electricity fall down to the ground due to being influenced by gravity?

    Gravity is the weakest of the fundamental forces. Unbelievably weak. At the scale they are operating on it has zero effect compared to the electromagnetic force. At that scale quantum effects are a much larger influence than gravity. If you, or anyone, figures out how to tie macro gravity and subatomic gravity into one coherent theory then there will be a Nobel Prize waiting.
