Who developed the alternating current?
1884 Nikola Tesla invented the electric alternator, an electric generator that produces alternating current (AC). Until this time electricity had been generated using direct current (DC) from batteries. AC electrical systems are better for sending electricity over long distances as DC can only travel 5 miles at best.
Where does energy in an electrical outlet come from?
It ultimately comes from a power generating station operated by the electric utility co. There, a generator is turned by water from a dam (hydroelectric) or by steam from coal or oil, or sometimes a nuclear reactor. The generating station might be many miles away. A very tiny bit of electricity is produced from the sun (photovoltaic), and by wind generators too. Have you seen the huge metal towers with cables up on top? These transmission lines are how the electricity gets from the generating station into the city. The transmission lines go to substations, where the voltage is transformed down to a lower value, then distributed by wires on smaller poles into neighborhoods. There, it is transformed once more into a lower voltage, the proper value for your outlets. This is done by transformers. Sometimes they are round metal cans up on poles, sometimes they are square metal boxes in a front yard or alley. Finally, the electricity comes from the transformer to your house. There may be a cable overhead from a pole to the house, or sometimes the cable is buried underground. Once the electricity is at the house, wires in the attic and walls carry it to the outlet itself. Whew! What a journey!
What problems do all electric power plants have in common?
The construction of all power plants degrade the natural ecology of the environment directly surrounding it and possibly at further extents, for example if it's on a river it may effect the ecology of the environment miles down the river.
How do you convert amps to amp hours?
volts times amps equals watts, a measure of power. Amps times hours equals amp-hours, a measure of electric charge. Electric charge times voltage is energy. So 120 volts at 10 amps for 4 hours would pass 40 amp-hours of charge, the power would be 1200 watts and the energy would be 4800 watt-hours or 4.8 kilowatt-hours. So volts times amp-hours equals energy in watt-hours.
First electric power plant to transport electricity over 200 miles?
Niagra Falls power plant
Compare Vehicle Gas Cost To Electric Energy Costs?
An electric vehicle can get an average of 5 miles per kilowatt-hours of electricity it uses. To figure out if purchase of an EV is practical, compare the cost savings of gas to electricity. If electricity per kwh costs 10 cents and total monthly mileage were 1,250 miles, the expense would be $25. If a gallon of gas gave 25 miles and a gallon costs $3.50, the expense is $175.
How far could the first electric car built in 1893 go?
15 miles
How long does the electric car battery last in the Volt?
The range will vary according to where you live but the avrage is 25 to 501 miles on just electricity. After that you switch to gas and get an average of 344 miles to the 9.3 gallon tank.
When was Miles Electric Vehicles created?
Miles Electric Vehicles was created in 2004.

What car gets the most miles per gallon?
Mitsubishi i: 126/99 MPG it's all electric and it only cost $2 every time you run out of electricity.
What was the first electricity used for?
Electricity was first used publicly for lighting in homes and lighting of towns. Before it was used publicly and used for lighting, electricity didn't have many practical uses and wasn't very popular.
Why we do not have electricity power in rural area of UP?
Some parts of the you people, upper Peninsula of Michigan, do not have electric power service because it is not cost-effective for the electric company to provide power. Many rules areas require several miles of electric power line to service just a few customers.
