It comes from the street, via either an underground cable or an overhead line operating at the voltage that you are supplied with.
Those lines or cables are supplied from a transformer that is probably within about 200 metres of your home. The transformer is supplied at a higher voltage and so on via various high-voltage Transformers back to the grid and from there to the generating stations.
In the UK the local supply works at 240 volts which is also described as 415 v three-phase. The transformer supplies up to 2-300 homes and takes its power at 11 kV three-phase, and that is supplied at 33 kV from a transformer that is capable of supplying a small town of 5000-10,000 people. Towns are connected via a regional grid at 132 kV that connects major substations, and they in turn are supplied from the supergrid at 275 kV or 400 kV, that is 400,000 volts.

Electricity primarily comes from power plants, which generate it using various sources such as fossil fuels, nuclear energy, hydropower, wind, and solar. The electricity is then distributed through power lines to homes, businesses, and other facilities for use.

The magnesium atom is electrically neutral. It has 12 protons in the nucleus, which are positively charged, and 12 electrons surrounding the nucleus, which are negatively charged. The positive and negative charges balance each other out, resulting in an overall neutral charge for the atom.
Ions form electrically neutral compounds by combining in such a way that the total positive charge from cations equals the total negative charge from anions. This occurs through the formation of ionic bonds where oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other and balance out their charges, resulting in a neutral compound.
Liquids can conduct electricity if they contain charged particles, such as ions. Therefore, liquids can be electrically charged, depending on their composition.
An electrically neutral particle composed of two or more atoms chemically combined is called a molecule.
No, humans are not neutrally charged. They are made up of atoms which are electrically neutral, but within the body there are charged particles such as ions which create an overall slight negative charge.
No
No. Ions of opposite charges come together to form electrically neutral compounds. A compound cannot carry an electric charge.
Yes. Rubber is electrically nonconductive.
Yes Potassium is electrically neutral.
Water is an electrically neutral substance.
Heat is itself a form of energy, its not electrically charged
When it is electrically neutral, it has 47 electrons.
yes ions are electrically charged particles in the troposphere
Yes, a screw Jack Can be operated by electrically or manually.
How many should have been electrically heated.
The meaning of electrically neutral is without any electrical charge.
It will still have a electrical charge.
