Why do you need current electricity?
Current electricity is needed for various practical applications, such as powering electronic devices, operating electrical appliances, and providing lighting. It helps us perform daily activities efficiently and conveniently, making our lives more comfortable and productive. Additionally, current electricity is essential for industries, transportation, and communication systems to function effectively.
Does static electricity give light to your house?
No, static electricity does not light your home. Electric power plants send electricity to your house via the power grid, all of which works on an alternating current or AC. At the generating plant, this alternating current is stepped up to high voltages to distribute it, and it is then stepped down on the delivery end. The electricity is distributed to everyone on the power grid, and your house applies the AC to power up the lights and the electrical appliances.Static electricity, which is generated in tiny amounts around us all the time, is not a "stable" or "reliable" source of power. We haven't yet been successful in harnessing lightning, the most powerful of earth's static electric sources, to apply it to useful purposes on anything buy an experimental scale. We don't use static electricity for residential purposes.

Is it legal for a landlord to increase electric rates for their tenants in Illinois?
In most if not all US States, the cost of electricity is based on proposals from electric companies to a State commission tasked with the duty to judge whether any increases in electricity rates can be raised or even lowered. In no State can a landlord raise the cost of electricity to tenants unless a State commission has allowed the electric company to raise the rates charged to everyone. There might be exceptions to electric rates charged to a State government, however that is unlikely.

How can insulators protect us from a shock?
Insulators protect us from electric shocks by preventing the flow of electricity through them. They have high resistance to electrical current, which limits the amount of electricity that can pass through them and into our bodies. This helps to keep us safe from potential harm caused by electric shocks. Common insulating materials include rubber, plastic, glass, and ceramic.
