Electricity is used for heating homes, powering machines and appliances, lighting, cooking, entertainment, communication, transportation, and more. It comes from various natural sources like wind, water, the sun, and nuclear reactions that are harnessed at power stations. Energy from these sources is converted into electrical current by generators and travels through power lines, underground cables, wiring in buildings, and other transmission systems to reach homes and businesses for use.

Where does electricity come
from? Wind Turbines Nuclear energy in atoms Watermills Earth’s elements that all contain energy Comes from the wires in town Solar-power Hydro-power Wires and computers in the Turbines Power Stations
How is electricity made?
By the wind Wind turbines Solar panels from the roof Wind blows wind generators around and this generates electricity Through V90’s, V47’s (types of windmills) When the wind turbines turn around, they create energy Waterwheels and dual-blade windmills The wind turbine generator changes energy to electricity Energy changing and being transformed
How does electricity travel?
Power lines Underground Wires Power cables Through sub-ways (sub-stations) Vaults go down as the electricity gets closer to our homes Through Batteries Electricity goes through power lines to homes Through satellites Plugs in the wall Electricity travels from air Electric cars
