Do you use static electricity in your homes or current electricity?
electric current (alternating)
What was Nikola Tesla's specialty?
He invented electric motors and the devised how to bring alternant current to all homes around the world. Inventing electric gadgets were his thing.
How would it affect the world if Nikola Tesla had not been a scientist?
Before Tesla contribution with his invention of alternate current, the electric monopoly was controlled by Thomas Edison. It was a direct current system and had to many problems like people getting shocked when touching the walls in their homes and many factories and homes burned by the current. Imagine if we continued increasing the use of direct current in homes all over the world.
How is energy lost from power stations to homes?
The resistance of the cables that conduct the electric current away from the substations causes the cables to dissipate some of the electrical energy in the form of heat.
What is an electric current that periodically changes direction?
There are two types of electric current, DC or direct current and AC or alternating current. The power delivery to homes in most places in the world is AC or alternating current. This is where the electrons are pushed one way then back the other way with usually 100 or 120 changes in direction per second. This produces 50 or 60 forward/back cycles every second called 50Hz or 60Hz.
What devices supplied to most homes called?
electric bell

How is hydropower used in homes?
Hydro power is generated as electricity that is supplied to your home through wires, as normal, so it just seems like other types of electric power. . . . . . You pay your bills to an electric power company, they will be able to tell you if you are supplied with hydro-electric or not.
Why is the voltage decreased again before electricity is supplied to homes?
It needs to go to all the homes and increases current i dont know if thats right its just a guess.
Can optical fibers be used to give electric power lines at homes?
No, not with current technology.

How is water supplied to your homes?
It is supplied, under pressure, through a system of underground pipes.
What is the voltage supplied to Australian homes?
230 volts
How are step up and step down transformations used in transmission of electric current from electric company to homes?
(This is what my teacher said, I wrote this down in my notes) The answer is, Step-up Transformers are used to increase the voltage of an electric current before it is sent out over transmission lines from the electric company. Step-down transformers are used to reduce the voltage of current from high-voltage transmission lines before it enters homes and businesses. Some devices, such as televisions, contain step-up transformers that increase the voltage once again.
