CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Electricity theft is a social evil. Electrical energy worth billions of dollars is stolen from the utilities globally every year. These costs are routinely passed on the customers in the form of higher energy charges. Utilities are trying hard to find ways to combat it. Any interference with proper recording of meter or diversion of electricity from main power line is a theft. Most of the countries have realized the importance of this evil and formulated

electrical systems‚ communications and lighting control systems. These systems can be in businesses‚ schools‚ factories‚ commercial buildings‚ homes and in large equipment. In almost every project‚ the electrician is responsible for getting the electricity from its source and distributing it to the various parts. The electrician job might sound simple‚ but it is not. To achieve electrician duties without endangering the public or yourself‚ you need to have a solid background of electrical knowledge

Living Without Electricity Life Without Todays Conveniences You walk into your house today‚ flick a switch‚ and you expect a light to come on. You press a button on the remote control and you expect the TV to come on. There are many things you depend on electricity to do each day‚ from running your well pump if you live in the country to washing and drying your cloths. So‚ how did people get by before they got electricity? If you wanted a light you would get a match‚ go over to the kerosene

business was quickly losing ground to rival George Westinghouse. He knew he was widely respected as an electrical engineer and claimed not to change his stance on executions‚ but acknowledged the necessity and offered a humane alternative with electricity. More specifically and strategically‚ he offered up George Westinghouse ’s alternating current dynamos as a possibility because he claimed‚ "the passage of the current from these machines produces instantaneous death" (75). These statements made

Franklin bell. I had to try and find different energy sources that would work for me. Any electronic instrument would give off enough electricity‚ but I eventually settled on using a electric bug zapper because it was easy to set up the crocodile clips with it. Afterwards I tried the same experiment with a television set‚ using tinfoil which gave static electricity when it was switched on and off. Investigative question: Will the aluminium cans react in the same way that the original Franklin bell

Thomas Alva Edison was an inventor who created many important things that changed the way Americans live today. He was born on February 11‚ 1847 in Mt. Clemens‚ Michigan. He had trouble hearing because of an uncared for middle ear infection‚ and he had difficulty paying attention in school. As a result‚ he was pulled out of school where he was mother was then forced to home school him. At a young age‚ Thomas Edison created a small business where he would sell newspapers on the train‚ and eventually

Acid To Produce Electricity March 7‚ 2014 Abstract This research is about the chemical reaction of zinc with acetic acid to produce a short amount of electricity. Even though it only conducts a small amount of voltage‚ we investigated and experimented on how it can produce more than usual without adding any other components on the project except zinc‚ copper‚ vinegar‚ or a unique container that can increase the voltage of our product. The zinc can produce electricity because of the chemical

Week #7 Chapter 10 Static and Current Electricity Exercises (p.221) 6. Strictly speaking‚ will a penny be slightly more massive if it has a negative charge or a positive charge? Explain. A negative charge because when it is negatively charged electrons are added to the penny. 17. What is the voltage at the location of a 0.0001 C charge that has an electric potential energy of 0.5 J (both voltage and potential relative to the same reference point)? Potential = energy Charge = 0.5 J / 0.0001

UNFAIR DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES Resources in the world are distributed differently amongst different people. The developed countries are granted with more resources than the developing countries such as countries in Africa. They have to of thrive on the resources of their own countries‚ most of the time they have no resources at all that can be useful. North Korea has a lack of food and because of that they support their families by eating grass‚ while the people with power and wealth get
