What do we use to operate our electronic gadgets and appliances at home? We employ electricity to meet essential requirements such as heating water, providing cool air through air-conditioning, and supplying power for our tube lights and bulbs. Michael Faraday invented the electric motor in 1821, and Georg Ohm mathematically analysed the electrical circuit in 1827. Electricity and magnetism (and light) were definitively linked by James Clerk Maxwell, in particular in his "On Physical Lines of Force" in 1861 and 1862.
Did you know?
1.By using appliances such as the refrigerator and television on a daily basis, the temperature of the room increases because of excess heat.
2.If you leave your computer on the whole day, your electricity bill will be quiye, high, and hence, cost you a lot.
3.Our country is the one of the largest electricity generating nations. With an excess of population, India is faced with a major power shortage as the population increases so does the demand for electricity.
4.By not taking initiatives to conserve electrical energy, we are actually depleting India's power supply and resources. The rates for purchasing electricity are rising because the commodity the more expensive it becomes to buy it. Non-uniform access o electricity also results in many citizens not having access to this commodity, creating an imbalance.
5.We get so dependent on this valuable resource of energy that we take it for granted. Imagine a day without electricity! Imagine having to live in darkness with no appliances functioning. Electricity drives your machines, shops, banks, and much more. Won't your world come to a standstill? Change begins with you. So, start taking initiatives to conserve electricity today.
Changes begins with you. So, start taking initiatives to conserve electricity today. SAVE POWER!!
China is by far the world’s largest producer of electricity, generating a significant portion of its 7,503 TWh of power in 2019 through coal and hydroelectricity.
The US was the second-largest producer of electricity in the world in 2019 at 4,401 TWh.
The country produced 35% of its power from natural gas and other gases, alongside 23% from coal and almost 20% from nuclear power.
India, which is third on the list of the top electricity-generating countries, produced a significant amount of its 1,559 TWh of power from coal in 2019.
Some of its biggest thermal power plants include the 4.7-GW Vindhyachal Thermal Power Station in the Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh and the 4.6-GW Mundra Thermal Power Station in the Kutch district of Gujarat.
