How is hydroelectric power transferred around?
Electricity is transmitted through wires. The hydroelectric plant sends electricity through giant wires to a series of transformers. Transformers are devices that change electricity from high voltage to low voltage, and vice versa. The wires are connected to every part of the country.
How does electricity come to your house?
Electricity is produced in power station and then passed through to a generator. The generator passes the electricity through lines and then to another generator. it is again passed through lines and then to a primary customer which may be an industry or an electricity company. It is then passed on to a secondary customer through power lines through to your house.
Why are electrical cords insulated?
Electrical cords are insulated to prevent the electricity from going from one wire to the other wire without first going through the lightbulb or electrical device. Electricity is lazy. It would rather jump from the hot wire to the neutral wire and go back to the power plant without doing any work than have to go through the light bulb and do some work. You would still have to pay the electric bill.
How does electricity reach your house and school?
Through above ground/below ground power lines.
How does everyone get electricity at the same time?
Electricity is distributed to everyone simultaneously through a complex network called the power grid. Power plants generate electricity, which is then transmitted through high-voltage transmission lines to substations. From there, the voltage is reduced and distributed to individual homes and businesses through local distribution lines. The grid is designed to ensure that electricity flows continuously and reliably to meet the demand of all consumers.
How do shanty towns tap into electricity illegally?
Power Cords underground.
How does electricity get to cities from the turbines that generate it?
there are cords that are connected to the generator, then the cords carry that power out to the source where it is needed. its that simple! -K.Jade<3
How does electricity get to place to place?
Electricity travels in electrons through conductive material. The way that electricity can get from point to point is by traveling through wire-enclosed metallic material that is most accepting to the electrons. The result is electricity from a far distance from a main power plant which generates the electricity.
How does electricity travels to your homes?
by power lines comuters fridgeyourater cell phone battery
What are power poles or lines?
um... isnt it kinda obvious? they are the cords that hang all over the place that carry electricity.
How would you ground an electrical appliance?
Most are grounded through their power cords. Modern cords include a ground wire that is connected through building wiring to a grounding rod.

What are some real life examples of electricity?
light bulbs, power cords, computers, electronic cars, TVs, almost everything
What is flea power?
In technology Jargon flea power is residual electricity or current often stored on circuit boards (in power supplies, mother boards etc) that remains charged even after all power cords and batteries have been removed. To drain flea power, remove batteries and power cords then attempt to 'turn on' your device. You may be surprised to see a flicker of light, or a twitch in a fan. I have seen some devices run upwards of 30 seconds without any batteries or power cords ~ just from electricity stored in capacitors in the power supply or on a circuit board.

What are their basic functions of the power and data cables?
The basic function of power cables is to provide power to equipment. The basic function of data cables is to transfer data, from one device to another.
