We know that Electricity is the flow of electrical power or charge. It is a secondary energy source which essentially means that we get it from the conversion of other sources of energy, like Fossil Fuels, coal, natural gas, oil, and even nowadays nuclear power. The energy sources we use to make electricity can be renewable or non renewable. Electricity is a basic part of nature and it's one of our most widely used forms of energy. Which begs the question where would we all be without it? Most of the world's towns and cities were built alongside waterfalls and built water wheels to perform work. before electricity generation began over a hundred years ago houses were lit with kerosene lamps, food was kept cool in ice boxes, and cellars, and rooms were warmed by wood burning or coal burning stoves. Think of the differences electricity makes. Beginning with Benjamin Franklins experiment with a kite one stormy night, the principles of electricity were gradually understood. The electric light bulb, helped to change the entire world, prior to 1879, direct current (DC) electricity had been used in arc lights for outdoor lighting. In the late 1800s Nikola Tesla pioneered the generation, transmission, and use of alternating current. Tesla's inventions used electricity to bring indoor lighting to our homes and power to our industrial machines. Despite its great importance in our daily lives, most of us rarely stop to think what life would be like without electricity. Yet like air and water, we tend to take it for granted, we use electricity to do many jobs for us, from lighting and heating to powering our televisions and computers. Electricity is a controllable and convenient, energy and is used in the applications of heat, light and power |
