Electricity is a type of energy that is created by the movement of tiny particles called electrons. It is responsible for powering many of the devices and appliances we use in our daily lives.
Electricity can be generated in a variety of ways, but the most common method is through the use of turbines. These turbines are powered by different sources such as coal, natural gas, wind, or water, and they spin to create electricity.
There are two main types of electricity: direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). DC flows in one direction, while AC alternates between two directions. Most of the electricity we use in our homes is AC, while DC is used for smaller devices like batteries.
Electricity is measured in units called watts (W). This is a measure of power, or how much energy is used per second. The more watts an appliance or device uses, the more electricity it consumes.
When working with electricity, it is important to follow safety precautions to prevent accidents and injuries. These include using insulated tools, turning off power before making any repairs, and avoiding contact with water while using electrical devices.
