READ AND THINK
 Uses of Electricity in Entertainment
 Listening to music on MP3 players.
 Watching Television.
 Playing movies on DVDs, VCDs or VCRs runs on electricity.
 Uses of Electricity in Healthcare
 Surgical operations
 Doctors need a powerful light during an operation on a patient
 Without electricity, the operation can prove fatal
 Uses of Electricity in Transport and Communication
 Reaching places or communicating from a different corner of the world is only possible
because of electricity. A power cut during airline travel can be dangerous

 Uses of Electricity in Outdoors
 The street lights on the road use electricity to function, even the pool requires electricity to
heat the water in colder regions. The lawnmower, which is used to cut grass, uses
electricity to operate. The water sprinkler for the grass on the lawn uses electricity as well.
 Uses of Electricity in Household
 Starting from toasters to refrigerators, microwaves, washing machines, dishwashers,
electrical chimneys, and many more appliances which are simple to use and made for the
convenience of day-to-day activities use electricity to function
 Uses of Electricity in commercial places
 For the production of various materials, the factory uses heavy machinery which always
runs on electricity. Even the magnets, which are giant-like structures, require electricity to
keep them charged for lifting heavy metals.

 Uses of Electricity in Office
 We go to work in offices in which most things run on electricity. The lights, lifts, AC,
coffee machine, ID card reader, biometric scanners and everything else require electricity.
 Uses of Electricity as Fuel
 Electrical energy comes under renewable energy, and we can produce it using most of the
natural resources available to us. Today, things which were running on fossil fuels, such as
cars and bikes, are now made in such a way that it runs on electricity (like solar-powered),
which will be more convenient in the future.
 Uses of Electricity in Space
 The satellites and probes which are sent from the earth for space expeditions run on
electricity. The electricity is generated with the help of a generator or is battery-powered.
POWER TOOLS
JOINERS:
They are ideal for
woodworking. They come with
a saw blade that is useful for
cutting wood. There is also a
slot for cutting wooden objects.
ANGLE GRINDER

This is also known as a side

grinder or disc grinder, is a
handheld power tool used for
grinding and polishing. Angle
grinders may be used for
removing excess material from
a piece.
JACKHAMMERS

Jackhammers are typically used to

break up rock, pavement, and
concrete...
HEAT GUNS

This is a device used to emit a

stream of hot air, usually at
temperatures between 100 °C
and 550 °C.
CHAINSAW

This is a or battery-powered
saw that cuts with a set of teeth
attached to a rotating chain. It is
used in activities such as tree
felling, limbing, cutting
firebreaks in wildland fire
suppression.
HAND TOOLS

Screwdrivers are one of the

must-have hand tools in every
household utility kit. Not only
can they be used to screw and
unscrew nails on any surface,
but also they do a great job
tightening hinges, installing
light switches and assembling
furniture
WIRE STRIPPERS

Commonly used by workers—

particularly electricians, a wire
stripper is a portable tool for
removing the protective coating
of an electric wire to replace or
repair the wire. Electricians also
use this tool for stripping the
end portions of an electric wire
to connect them to other wires.
Hacksaw

A hacksaw is a fine-toothed saw

that is specially designed for
cutting metal such as steel
pipes. It can also be useful for
cutting plastic
CLAW HAMMER
A claw hammer has a claw end
that can be used to remove nails
and open crates
CHISEL
A chisel is a hand-cutting tool
used by fitters for chipping and
cutting-off operations.
MEASUREMENT
TOOLS
MEASURING TAPE
In the simplest form, they
consist of a fabric or plastic
ribbon with measures in inches,
centimeters, and/or millimeters
written on.
COMPASS

SPEEDOMETER

THERMOMETER
 CALIPER
A caliper is an instrument used
to measure the dimensions of an
object such as thickness, outside
and inside diameter, length,
width, and depth.
