Unit 3 The Characteristics of Electricity ( pg 296 ) Day 1 Electrostatics - study of static electricity Neutral objects - materials that do not carry a charge Conductors allow charges (electrons) to flow through them easily. E.g. metal Therefore no matter how hard that you rub a metal tap no static charge will build up because the electrons that you are giving the tap just keep on moving up the tap and down the water line until they reach a ground. Insulators do not allow charges

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

The first case of energy sector deregulation in Europe was recorded when the United Kingdom with the Electricity Act of 1990 created the Electricity Pool for England and Wales. Norway soon followed suit (Norwegian Energy Act of 1991) and set up the Norwegian Pool in 1993‚ which eventually became the Nord Pool in 1996. At the same year‚ the European Union issued its Electricity Directive (Directive 96/92/EC) according to which the electricity markets of all EU countries

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

ELECTRICITY I. DISCOVER OF ELECTRICITY About 600 B.C.‚ Thales‚ a Greek philosopher and scientist‚ observed that a piece of amber attracted small bits of “paper” or very thin wood shavings after it was rubbed with wool. He had discovered‚ in effect‚ static electricity. William Gilbert‚ an English scientist in the sixteenth century‚ found that many other different materials could be made to act like amber. Whenever these objects were rubbed against each other‚ they were able to attract each other
