Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and flow of electric charge. Electricity gives a wide variety of well- know effects such as lightning‚ static electricity‚ electro magnetic induction and the flow of electrical current. In addition‚ electricity permits the creation and reception of electromagnetic radiation such as radio waves. Electrical phenomena have been studied since antiquity‚ though advances in the science were not made until the seventeenth and eighteenth

Electricity is important in our everyday lives. It is essential for almost everything in our modern world. The knowledge learned in the past about electricity enabled such things as engines‚ telephones‚ radios‚ computers‚ and much‚ much more. As early as 600 B.C.‚ the Greeks were already studying electricity. They noticed that if you rubbed a piece of amber with fur‚ it had a charge with the ability to attract small objects. Many years later‚ in the 16th Century‚ William Gilbert discovered many

What is Anti Static Wrist Band/Strap? An antistatic wrist strap is used to safely ground a person working on very sensitive electronic equipment‚ to prevent the buildup of static electricity on their body‚ which can result in electrostatic discharge. It is used in the electronics industry by workers working on electronic devices which can be damaged by ESD‚ and also sometimes by people working around explosives‚ to prevent electric sparks which could set off an explosion. It consists of a stretchy

Electricity Crisis in Nepal “Not a day goes by without a few hours of power cuts. Load shedding has now become a perennial problem and it is here to stay." The story of power position in Nepal is that of highest potential and lowest consumption. The electricity demand in Nepal is increasing by about 10 percent every year and close to 40 percent of the approximate Nepalese population has access to electricity so far. The main load centre is the central zone which includes the Kathmandu Valley. Nepal

habit‚ we heavily depend on electricty to function. The majority of items that are used on a daily basis depend on electricity to function. Modern socirety adapted to electricity more than ever. There is no specific date as to when electricity was discovered. In June 1752 Benjamin Franklin proved that lightening is electricity. In 1791 Galvani publisged his doscoverey of Bio electricity. In 1800 Volta invented the Galvanic cell‚ in which this day in age we call it the battery. Without these advances

Electricity generation is the process of creating electricity from other forms of energy. The fundamental principles of electricity generation were discovered during the 1820s and early 1830s by the British scientist Michael Faraday. His basic method is still used today: electricity is generated by the movement of a loop of wire‚ or disc of copper between the poles of a magnet.[1] For electric utilities‚ it is the first process in the delivery of electricity to consumers. The other processes‚ electricity

Going through the day without seeing the effects of electricity in the everyday life human have become accustomed to would be a major feat. Electricity is the first thing experienced when waking up in the morning with an alarm clock‚ and the last thing experienced when going to bed at night after turning off the lights. Electricity is the basis for most necessary functions throughout the day from watching television‚ logging into a computer‚ and even storing the food used to prepare meals. None
