    what magnetism was at the time. For centuries on, we have had basic knowledge regarding electricity based upon static electricity found from rubbing amber and fur. However, up until the early 1800s, our understanding of electricity and magnetism was severely limited – considering both of them as entirely separate phenomena. Before we delve deeper into the topic, what is electricity and magnetism? Electricity is,

    Electricity would undoubtedly be the most important discovery in the history of mankind. Its capacity to have great effects on various human activities and its influence on human technology and cultures make this the best discovery. Electricity is a fundamental form of energy observable in positive and negative forms that occurs naturally or is produced and that is expressed in terms of the movement and interaction of electrons (Merriam-Webster). The discovery of electricity dates back to about

    Basically, it is a measurement of the energy contained within an electric circuit or electric field at a given point. The voltage used in households in Australia is 230V 50Hz. How is electricity supplied to homes Australia is self-sufficient in energy resources for electricity generation. The black coal is used to supply electricity in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia, while the brown coal is used in Victoria. Australia also has hydro centrals, used to produce hydro-electric energy for Tasmania

    INTRODUCTION Everywhere nowadays there is electricity and devices that rely on electricity. Society is driven by the need for energy and “electricity generating plants now consume two-fifths of U.S. energy from all sources, including about 90% of America’s coal and nearly 30% of its natural gas” (http://needtoknow.nas.edu/energy/energy-sources/electricity/). The world today would not be nearly as advanced had it not been for the increased use of electricity. Electricity has so many uses they are seemingly

    Energy Efficiency Humans today are using much more electricity than we need to in our houses and this is impacting our world more then we realise. Although electricity is a huge advantage to humans it has the complete opposite effects on our environment. By using more electricity, we are using more of the earth’s resources and if we keep going down this road then we are going to run out. The solution for this mass overuse of energy is to build houses which are more energy efficient. Features like

    Electrophysiology or the study of bodily electricity started with galvanism. Galvanism was largely credited as the life force that could be suddenly obtained. This life force was found in sciences at the time and in literature. One of the prime examples is the novel Frankenstein, where Doctor Frankenstein gives life to his monster made of human body parts. Galvanism began with the spark experiments of Luigi Galvani. Galvani’s spark experiments were a series of experiments that he performed with

    DeBono talked about was the kind of electricity solar panels generate. “PV solar panels generate direct current (DC) electricity. With DC electricity, electrons flow in one direction around a circuit” (DeBono). One interesting fact that DeBono stated was “AC electricity was chosen for the U.S. electrical power grid, primarily because it is less expensive to transmit over long distances. However, solar panels create DC electricity. How do we get DC electricity into the AC grid? We use an inverter”

    Nikola Tesla was a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer and physicist. He is best known for his contribution to the design of the alternating current electricity supply system. In 1884, after he had gained some experience in telephony and engineering, he moved to the U.S.A to work for Thomas Edison at his ‘Edison Machine Works’. Tesla was given the task of redesigning the Edison Company’s direct current generators and in 1885 he said that he could redesign the inefficient motor and generators
