Why do you pay for electricity if all the electricity that flows into your house flows out again?
Rainbowbelt
We pay for electricity even if all the electricity that flows into our houses flows out again because electricity is not a recyclable form of energy not like water which does not stop its cycle in nature. Besides that, we have limited sources of electricity nowadays though, people are still continuing to look for alternative sources. That is also why we are paying much for our electricity.

What is the job of the house electricity supply?
it supplies electricity all over the house, including the electrical appliances.
In what situations is electricity dangerous?
Whenever it CAN pass through your body - your heart, brain and muscles are all sensitive to current flows.
How is electricity used to create a magnet?
If an electrical current flows, there will be a magnetic field. This is a law of nature; so all you need to do - basically - is make sure a current flows. The current should be DC.
How does electricity get to your house?
It isn't. Do you mean how is wind energy distributed? There is no such thing as wind energy or nuclear energy or coal energy. energy is energy, there is no possible way to distinguish where it came from. The energy from a wind turbine is converted to electricity, and put into the electric grid with the energy from all other sources. From the grid it goes to houses and factories as needed.
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 electricity flows?
Electricity flows through wires. Negatively charged atoms will jump to positively charged atoms. They all jump really fast and it causes flow. Electricity flows only in A. An open circuit. B. A closed circuit. C. A magnet D. An incomplete circuit

How does hydro electricity flow?
Hydro electricity is electricity generated by moving water, usually from dams nowadays. Electrical power is all the same. It flows through wires.
Who can break electricity?
Farzanah Begum Yasin........ scientifically proven time and time again. From small things like irons and laptops to a whole house with all the electricity turned on......even if just for a few seconds.
What can be done with electricity installed in your house?

What is household electricity called?
household electricity is called alternating current because when you have elecricity in your home,your elecricity will travel all over your house to make the electricity flow.
What lights up when electricity flows through?
Electricity flows through the path of least resistance. Electricity will flow through anything conductive; metals, liquids, and even through small particles. Your insulators are porcelain, glass, plastics, wood and cloths. All variances of voltage is deadly. The most dangerous thingabout electricity is the current or amperage. As little as 17 miliamps can stop your heart.
