Electricity is one of the most important energies in people’s daily life. Without electricity‚ life will be tough and boring. We could only use candles for illumination and firewood for cooking. There would be not PCs‚ no TVs‚ and even no radios. Electricity brings us a great life and it is an affordable energy. The local electricity price in Fairbanks is about 16 cent per Kilowatt-hour. However‚ the waste of electricity is a serious problem in Wickersham hall. When you walking outside the Wickersham

Lecture Notes: Basic Electricity Fall 2011 This course module introduces the basic physical models by which we explain the flow of electricity. The Bohr model of an atom – a nucleus surrounded by shells of electrons traveling in discrete orbits – is presented. Electrical current is described as a flow of electrons. Ohm’s law – the relationship between voltage‚ current and electrical resistance – is introduced. Learning Objectives Understanding the basic principles of electricity is a foundational

today ’s culture‚ electricity is a vital part of functioning as a society. Simple tasks‚ such as waking up at a designated time or enjoying a piece of music‚ are accomplished currently via electronic means. One only needs to consider the consequences of a relatively short power outage factories close down‚ phones and computers go dead‚ traffic slows to a crawl‚ food spoils in refrigerators to accurately observe how power-dependent our society has become. However‚ electricity is a constantly developing

Daily Lives New inventions change our live on a daily basis. Whether it is the new version of a washing- machine or a new cure for a disease that they have discovered‚ we are sure to never have a dull moment in the modern world. Over the years we have experienced many new inventions and many interesting periods of discoveries‚ but not one quite as dynamic as the 20th century. I think the reason these specific times’ inventions were so important‚ is that it was the beginning of everything. All the
