Electricity‚ being referred to as one of the primary agents of technological progress (Boylestad‚ 2002)‚ plays a vital role in securing the stability and mobility of the modern civilization in which many societies exist. Through simple observation‚ one can clearly say that electricity‚ indeed‚ lies through almost every aspect of human life in the present-day era‚ and that it has‚ in many levels‚ constantly revolutionized the way things are in the world as people know it. According to World Bank‚

What is Magnetism? Properties of Magnets: Magnet: any material that attracts iron and materials that contain iron Magnets attract iron and materials that contain iron. magnets attract or repel other magnets. In addition‚ one part of a magnet will always point north when allowed to swing freely. Magnetic Poles: Magnetic Pole: any magnet with 2 ends‚ each is called a magnetic pole. Magnetic poles that are unlike attract each other and magnetic poles that are alike repel each other. Magnetic

Electricity was first researched by Thales of Miletos around 600BC. He conducted a few experiments on static electricity in which he believed that friction made amber become magnetized. Other than the fact that people knew that eels produced electric shocks‚ electricity was little more than an intellectual curiosity for over 2000 years. Until 1600 when someone from England discovered the lodestone effect when amber with static would attract small objects towards it. In the 18th century‚ Benjamin

Wireless communication is the transfer of information between two or more points that are not connected by an electrical conductor. The most common wireless technologies use radio. With radio waves distances can be short‚ such as a few meters for television or as far as thousands or even millions of kilometers for deep-space radio communications. It encompasses various types of fixed‚ mobile‚ and portable applications‚ including two-way radios‚ cellular telephones‚ personal digital assistants

Types of power generating plants Electricity can be generated using the kinetic energy of water‚ heat energy of the sun and coal‚ or from the nuclear energy released from the fission of nuclear fuel. Nuclear Power Plants Nuclear power plants work on the chemical process of fission. Nuclear reactors are used to generate electricity. Fission

There are a number of independent power producers that contributes significantly in electricity generation in Pakistan. For years‚ the matter of balancing Pakistan ’s supply against the demand for electricity has remained a largely unresolved matter. Pakistan faces a significant An Overview of Electricity Sector In Pakistan challenge in revamping its network responsible for the supply of electricity. Due to an unrealistic power tariff‚ high inefficiencies‚ low payment recovery and the

Static Electricity Everything is made up of tiny particles called atoms. The atoms are made up of even smaller parts called protons‚ electrons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge (+)‚ electrons have a negative charge (-) and neutrons have no charge at all‚ they are neutral. Atoms normally have the same amount of electrons and protons‚ making them neutral and having no charge. When rubbing things together‚ electrons can move from one atom to another‚ resulting in some atoms having extra

Electricity is important in our everyday lives. It is essential for almost everything in our modern world. The knowledge learned in the past about electricity enabled such things as engines‚ telephones‚ radios‚ computers‚ and much‚ much more. As early as 600 B.C.‚ the Greeks were already studying electricity. They noticed that if you rubbed a piece of amber with fur‚ it had a charge with the ability to attract small objects. Many years later‚ in the 16th Century‚ William Gilbert discovered many
