Wonders of electricity

ELECTRICITY
Electricity is one of the most important discoveries of science in the modem age. Electricity is there in the charged clouds and that is why they thunder so loudly. Probably, man took an idea from the clouds and this helped him in discovering electricity.
Electricity is a blind energy and is thus ruthless in its power, working and effect. Man has, however, found out the means to harness it with the help of insulators which he has discovered through experiments for the purpose.
Today, electricity is produced in several ways, that is, through hydraulic means, through wind power, through the use of coal, through nuclear power and so on. Now, even house waste is being used to generate electricity and energy. Solar energy is a common word these days. Energy comes to us mostly in the form of electricity, though some other shapes and forms may also be there.

In the modem age, we cannot think of life without electricity. Day in and day out, we are always surrounded by objects and machines which work with electricity. Some of these common household objects and devices are the electric bulb, the fluorescent tube, the electric fan, the desert cooler, the air conditioner, the room heater, the electric microwave oven, the mixer, the juicer, the toaster, the refrigerator, the geyser, etc. Almost all the factories run with electricity. Computer which has changed the face of life on earth is also run with electricity. Even objects such as the mobile phone, etc. which work with the help of satellite use computer for certain purposes such as recording, bill charging, etc. Thus, it is basically electricity which has revolutionized life on earth and other revolutionary things get sustenance from electricity.
Electricity is the greatest gift of science to mankind. We have reached a point of our civilization when electricity is used for all purposes. Without it, our existence will be impossible. Electricity is a source of energy. It is produced by a battery or a coil of wires or by dynamo machine. It is produced in thermal station and also in hydro-project.

There are various wonders of electricity. The most important of all is electric fan and electric light. These two things have improved our living standard and also efficiency of work. Our houses, roads, offices and shops are lighted. It is difficult and sometimes impossible to work in an office where there is no light and fan.

Students read comfortably in a room which is properly furnished with electric light and fan. Fan is not a luxurious thing. It is necessary to fight heat during summer. Electricity is essential to operate fan in summer and electric heater in winter. In cold winter, electric heaters warm our rooms.

Electricity is a means of communication. Telegraph and telegram device is based on electricity. It is easy send messages to distant places. Telephone also functions due to electricity. Due to this facility, the world has become a familiar place for all. Fax-machine is the latest development. Thus, communication is possible due to electricity. Elect has enabled us to conquer time and space.


After the invention of electricity there has been improvement in railways. Previously, the railway trains i steam engines. At present, electric trains are used in all countries. Electricity is of vital use in industries and factories, electricity no factory can run. Now-a-days, everything is done by electricity. We use grinder-mixture, refrigerators, washing machine and other home appliances at our home. But without electricity these things can not function. Radio and television are gifts of electricity. Cinema is impossible without it.

The most important wonder of electricity is felt in the field of medical science. X-Ray, Scanning, Ultra Sonographer Test, E.C.G., Endoscopy, etc. are the developed devices in the field of medicine and surgery. This is possible due to electricity only. Lunacy and mental disorder can be cured through electric shocks to the patients. Computer functions only when it is supplied with electricity.

In view of the numerous uses of electricity, it is right to say that the present age is the age of electricity.
