Hazards of Static Electricity; Lightning Lightning is a massive electrostatic discharge between the electrically charged regions within clouds or between a cloud and the surface of a planet. It is the sudden high-current discharge caused by the atmosphere’s electrical breakdown. Lightning is also one of the most deadly natural phenomena known to man. Lightning is an electric current; thus within a thundercloud up in the sky‚ many small bits of ice (frozen raindrops) collide into each other as

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 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
