Would it be possible to use tubes of water instead of metal cables to deliver electricity to homes because water conducts electricity?
It is not practically possible.
What Is a metal string that brings electricity to our house?
Electricity is brought into our homes along cables of conductive copper wires insulated against shortening by an insulating covering of plastic.
How does electricity travels to your homes?
by power lines comuters fridgeyourater cell phone battery
How does the national grid brings electricity to homes?
By overhead cables, supported on masts, at very high voltage, to reduce the effects of resistance in the wires.
Why can't we see electricity?
Most of our electricity is made in power stations by machines called generators. Electricity is a kind of energy and it flows into our homes, schools and towns. It happens via the cables buried beneath our feet or wires hanging over our heads.
How many homes had electricity in the 1970s?
19 million homes had electricity in the 1970s
Is it true that an insulator prevents the flow of electricity?
Yes because if that was not true you would get shocks all the time .Also the wires and cables in your homes are all wrapped in plastic (a insulator).
How are energy efficient homes connected to global warming?
Global warming is caused by extra carbon dioxide greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.Most of the world's electricity is generated by burning fossil fuel, like coal or oil.Burning fossil fuel adds extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.An energy efficient home uses less electricity from the grid, so it has a lower carbon footprint, that is, it is responsible for less carbon dioxide than an average house.So an energy efficient home reduces the threat of global warming in a small way. (What if billions of homes became energy efficient?)
How electricity energy is transferred to home and industry?
your electricity supply at home reaches you through the Nation Grid.This is a network of cables connecting power stations to homes and other buildings. The network also contains trasformers. Step-up transformers are used at power stations and Step-down transformers are used at sub-stations rear homes.
How is hydroelectricity transported?
The generator, consisting inside the Hydropower plant, collects electricity from the pressure of water pushing the turbines. The long distance power line cables are attached to the generator to extract the electricity.The power lines transport all the electricity to our homes and factories
Did they have electricity in the 1930s?
Yes they did. Many homes had electricity in 1934
What are the advandages of?
There are many advantages to having electricity. People use electricy everyday in their homes and their work places. Electricy makes things more efficient and is needed for much of today's technology.
