Electricity

It is impossible to imagine our civilization without electricity:
economic and social progress will be
turned to the past and our daily lives completely transformed.

Electrical power has become universal. Thousands of applications of electricity such as lighting, electrochemistry and
electrometallurgy are longstanding and
unquestionable.

With the appearance of the electrical motor, power
cables replaced transmission shafts,gear wheels,belts and pulleys in the 19-th
century workshops. And in the home a whole range of various time and labour saving appliances have become a part of our everyday
lives.

Other
devices are based on specific
properties of electricity: electrostatics
in the case of photocopying machine and electromagnetism in the case of radar and television. These
applications have made electricity most
widely used.

The first industrial application was in the silver workshops in Paris. The generator - a new compact source
of electricity - was also developed there. The generator replaced the batteries and other devices that had
been used before.

Electric lighting came into wide use at the end
of the last century with the development of the electric lamp by Thomas Edison.Then the transformer was invented,
the first electric lines and networks were set up, dynamos and induction motors were designed.

Since the beginning of the 20-th century the successful
development of electricity has begun
throughout the industrial world. The consumption of electricity has doubled
every ten years.

Today consumption of electricity
per capita is an indicator of the state of development and economic health of a
nation. Electricity has replaced other sources of energy as it has been realized that it offers improved
service and reduced cost.

One of the greatest advantages of electricity is that
it is clean, easily-regulated and generates no by-products . Applications of electricity now cover all fields of human activity from house washing machines to the
latest laser devices. Electricity is the efficient
source of some of the most recent technological
advances such as the laser and electron beams. Truly electricity provides mankind with the energy of the future.
