Electricity is all around us. It moves the entire planet. Most, if not all activities significant to our lives involves electricity. The evolution of our world, corresponded with the advent of electricity.
But how much do we know about electricity. More importantly, how much do we not know about electricity?
Electricity is viewed as productive. Electricity is also viewed with amazement and danger by the others. Especially those who have less understanding.
As electrical engineer, it is one of our responsibilities to educate people about electricity.
This entry is a collection of the best article, and information in the web related to electricity.
Basic information, myths, and misconception busters.
ELECTRICITY BASIC DEFINITION
Electricity, phenomenon associated with stationary or moving electric charges. Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter and is borne by elementary particles. In electricity the particle involved is the electron, which carries a charge designated, by convention, as negative. Thus, the various manifestations of electricity are the result of the accumulation or motion of numbers of electrons. Read more...
ELECTRICITY TIMELINE
Main events
600BC: Static electricity
Thales, a Greek, found that when amber was rubbed with silk it attracted feathers and other light objects. He had discovered static electricity. The Greek word for amber is ëelectron', from which we get ëelectricity' and ëelectronics'. Read more...
THE EXPLODING DEMAND FOR ELECTRICITY
The developed world is irreversibly dependent on electricity. This addiction is happening “accidentally,” as an unintended consequence of forces such as population growth, electrification and computerization. Taken separately, those trends did not seem momentous. Taken together, they are the unstoppable drivers behind the coming transformation of our electrical power infrastructure. Read more...
ELECTRICITY AND ITS EFFECT TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Of the total energy consumed in America, about 39% is used to generate electricity. Therefore, electricity consumption is an important portion of a consumer's environmental footprint. All forms of electricity generation have some level of environmental impact. Most of the electricity in the United States is generated from fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas, and oil. Read more...
EFFICIENT ELECTRICITY
Boosting efficiency in the electricity use in 8 European regions. Electricity consumption is rising, in some areas with alarming speed. There is a strong risk that the increase in electricity consumption will overcompensate the growth in electricity production from renewable energy sources. A considerable lack of awareness about these increases exists, not only among the general public but also in SMEs, in public administrations and in political decision makers on regional and local levels. Read more...
THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT ELECTRICITY
Have you ever wondered how much we depend on electricity? Where does electricity come from? What are those volts, amps and watts anyway? If you have ever thought about any of these questions, then you've come to the right place. This page will tell you the amazing story of electricity. You'll be shocked by how hot it is. If you want to go to any page, look down or glance over to the side bar. We hope that this site helps you learn more about electricity. Read more...
Have fun and happy browsing.
