Who Discovered Electricity ? From the writings of Thales of Miletus it appears that Westerners knew as long ago as 600 B.C. that amber becomes charged by rubbing. But other than that‚ there was little real progress until the English scientist William Gilbert in 1600 described the electrification of many substances and coined the term "electricity" from the Greek word for amber. As a result‚ Gilbert is called the father of modern electric power. In 1660‚ Otto von Guericke invented a crude machine

not care less about the winner and focused on the new effects of Tesla’s creations. At the time‚ the 1890s saw a great change in the way electricity worked. America saw a massive growth in the number of AC electric companies and systems after 1893 (Ghose 1). AC energy could spread electricity across distances to places that were previously without electricity (Abengoa 2). Even Edison changed many of his systems to AC to keep up with the growing trend (Ghose 1). Tesla’s way of thinking about energy

The researchers’ study involves exposing six rice plants to six volts of electricity. The goal of the study is to observe the effect of the electricity on the height of the rice plants compared to those that are not exposed to electricity. The researchers measured the initial height of the rice plants. The rice shoots were then placed and grown in six respective buckets. Three of the six buckets were exposed to electricity by using four D batteries and iron rods. The researcher will then record

or minus‚ pole and move towards the positive‚ or plus‚ pole. Nevertheless‚ physicists define DC as traveling from plus to minus. In DC circuits‚ the electricity is always the same polarity‚ which means that in a two-wire circuit‚ one "wire"‚ or side of the circuit‚ is always negative‚ and the negative side is always the one that sends the electricity. There is no hum because there is no cyclic change in current flow. DC current is more effective for long-distance‚ high-voltage transmission because

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

reduce the excessive inefficiently in the distribution network in the capital. With the economy performing very well during 1992-95‚ the demand for electricity grew substantially. Constrained by the paucity of its resources‚ the Government decided to allow private sector participation in the power sector. Faced with a grim possibility of serious electricity shortages during the next few years and to enable the sector to be financially self-sustaining and also attract private capital‚ the cabinet approved

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

Safety Rules Safety is defined as the state of being safe‚ while rule is a statement of what to do or not to do in a certain situation. Safety rules contain set of policies interpreting a law or policy to maintain safety. It is applicable in any area and must be done at all time. Unexpected situation like accident may occur in a workplace. That’s why safety rules come with its purpose‚ and it is to prevent the occurrence of any work related injury. Safety rules includes checklist of safety standards
