Electricity

• Electricity generation, transmission, and distribution

  1. Powerplants

  2. Transformers

  3. Transmission lines

  4. Distribution lines
• Nikola Tesla


  AC (alternating current)
• Michael Faraday


  Generator and electrolysis
• Joseph Henry


  Electromechanical relay and electrical motor
• electricity


  is a type of energy that involves the flow of electrons created by a potential difference.
• batteries


  create potential difference by having positive (cathode) and negative (anode) sides
• powerplants


  facilities that generate electricity using a generator
• transformers


  these devices increase or decrease voltage in order to efficiently transmit electricity
• transmission lines


  transmits electricity through vast distances through high-voltage electrical current.
• distribution lines


  can be found on street poles and even underground. The voltage is low and the current is high, making it safer suitable for home use
