This temporary reduction in electricity supply is known as load shedding and less formally power cut. Peak load shedding hours are early evenings and mornings when most bulbs are lit and most home appliances are in use. Power is a very important daily need of modern life

There are protons with a positive charge‚ neutrons with a neutral charge‚ and electrons with a negative charge. But the negatively charged electrons are useless if they don’t have a circuit to travel on. A circuit is a system that is made of three different components and they are: an energy source
