INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICITY

Electricity is a form of energy generated by

friction, induction or chemical change, having
magnetic, chemical and radiant effect. In short,
electricity is Electrons in motion.
Electricity is one of the most useful discovery
of man which paved way to the numerous
inventions from the simple tools to the most
sophisticated gadgets making what originally
seemed to be impossible become a reality.
3. Solar Power Plant – The sun is a natural
source of energy. A solar thermal unit
reflector material in the form of a curved
mirror is used to concentrate and store
solar furnace to produce an electric
current.

Electric Current is classified as:

1. Direct Current (DC)

2. Alternating Current (AC)
Direct Current. The DC electricity, flows in one
direction. The flow is said to be from negative to We are done with some of the common

its unlimited number of applications with the
