Static electricity is a type of electrical charge that is created when two objects rub together and electrons are transferred between them. It can be both beneficial and detrimental, depending on the situation. Static electricity has been around since ancient times, but it was not until the 18th century that scientists began to understand its… Read More

Electricity is the flow of electrons, and electronics are devices that use electricity to do useful work. Electronics can be found in everything from computers and cell phones to cars and microwaves. The three basic components of all electronic devices are transistors, capacitors, and resistors. Transistors control the flow of electrons in a circuit by… Read More

Direct current (DC) is an electric current that flows in one direction only. Batteries and solar cells produce it, which powers electronic devices such as computers, phones, and lights. DC electricity was first discovered in 1820 by Italian physicist Alessandro Volta. He found that when he connected two metals with a moistened paper, an electric… Read More

Electric charge is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. There are two types of electric charges: positive and negative. Positively charged particles are attracted to negatively charged particles, while negatively charged particles are attracted to positively charged particles. The force between charges is… Read More

The National Electrical Code (NEC) is a comprehensive set of electrical safety rules and regulations. It is published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and it is updated every three years. The NEC covers all aspects of electrical installation, including wiring, equipment, and lighting. The NEC is used by electricians, engineers, architects, and inspectors… Read More

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is responsible for ensuring the safety of workers in the United States. OSHA’s electrical standards are designed to protect workers from electrocution, fires, and explosions. OSHA’s electrical standards require employers to provide their employees with safe working conditions. Employers must ensure that all electrical equipment is properly grounded… Read More

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is an international standards body for all things electrical. They create and maintain standards for everything from the voltage of household outlets to the types of connectors used in data centers. The IEC is a voluntary organization, meaning that membership is not mandatory, but most countries do participate. The IEC… Read More

A power plant is a facility that generates electricity from various sources of energy. Power plants are usually located near a source of water, such as a river, lake, or ocean. The electricity generated by the power plant is then transmitted to consumers via the electrical grid. There are several types of power plants, including… Read More
