Electricity:

how it's
generated and
transported
the generator
Electricity is generated by using a generator,
and generator come in different forms

Renewable Non-Renewable
Transformer
A step up transformer is used to increase the
voltage by a very significant amount.

Increasing the voltage allows for a more efficient

transport of electricity as heat loss is minimized.
the transport
Although many countries around the world still
implement the conventional power lines to
transport high voltage electricity, a lot of
developed urbanised area are starting to adapat
underground power lines.
Transformer
A transformer is used again to bring the voltage
down to an acceptable level so it can used for
residential purposes.
the destination
Once the current is stepped down to an
acceptable voltage, it will then be distributed to
different individual buildings including
residential area.
