Electricity Facts Electricity plays an important role in everyday life, learn more about static
electricity, electric eels, circuits, lightning, electric shock, volts, amps and much more.
-Modern society relies heavily on the convenience and versatility of electricity. It powers your
microwave, helps light your house, lets you watch TV and so much more.
-Electric current is measured in amperes (amps).
-Electric potential energy is measured in watts.
-Two positive charges repel each other, as do two negative charges. Opposite charges on the other
hand attract each other.
-When an electric charge builds up on the surface of an object it creates static electricity. You have
probably experienced static electricity in the form of a small electric shock, which is what happens
when the electric charge is quickly neutralized by an opposite charge.
-Electric eels can produce strong electric shocks of around 500 volts for both self defense and
hunting.
-Electric circuits can contain parts such as switches, transformers, resistors and capacitors.
-A common way to produce electricity is by hydropower, a process that generates electricity by
using water to spin turbines attached to generators.
-The worlds biggest source of energy for producing electricity comes from coal. The burning of
coal in furnaces heats boiler water until it becomes steam which then spins turbines attached to
generators.
-Lightning is a discharge of electricity in the atmosphere. Lightning bolts can travel at around
210,000 kph (130,000 mph), while reaching nearly 30,000 C (54,000 F) in temperature.
-Electricity plays a role in the way your heart beats. Muscle cells in the heart are contracted by
electricity going through the heart. Electrocardiogram (ECG) machines used in hospitals measure
the electricity going through someones heart, when the person is healthy it usually shows a line
moving across a screen with regular spikes as the heart beats.
-You may have heard of direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). The difference between
the two is in the way the electrons flow. In DC electrons move in a single direction while in AC
they change directions, switching between backwards and forwards. The electricity use in your
home is AC while DC comes from sources that include batteries.
-Back in the 1880s there was even a war of currents between Thomas Edison (who helped invent
DC) and Nikola Tesla (who helped invent AC). Both wanted their system to be used with AC
eventually winning out due to the fact that it is safer and can be used over longer distances.
-Electric fields work in a similar way to gravity with an important exception being that while
gravity always attracts, electric fields can either attract or repulse.
-American Benjamin Franklin carried out extensive electricity research in the 18th century,
inventing the lightning rod amongst his many discoveries. Lightning rods protect buildings in the
event of lightning by conducting lightning strikes through a grounded wire.

Whats the difference between direct current and alternating current?

The difference between the two is in the way the electrons flow. In DC electrons move in a single
direction while in AC they change directions, switching between backwards and forwards. The
electricity use in your home is AC while DC comes from sources that include batteries.

Whats the relationship between electricity and the human heart?

-Electricity plays a role in the way your heart beats. Muscle cells in the heart are contracted by
electricity going through the heart. Electrocardiogram (ECG) machines used in hospitals measure
the electricity going through someones heart, when the person is healthy it usually shows a line
moving across a screen with regular spikes as the heart beats.

Can you think of any other role of electricity in our life?

Electricity plays a very important role in the community of our life. It manifests itself, among
others, through: public lighting in plazas, parks, motorways, tunnels, roads, etc., in order to provide
security and visibility to Pedestrians and improved traffic in night hours; The traffic lights on the
public road allow to regulate and control the flow of vehicles

C. WRITING (0.5x4=2 Points) Answer the following questions (30 words per question)
1. Why are you studying Electricity?
I study electricity because I would like to have knowledge about it and also because I would like to
