  2. Electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity

    Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter possessing an electric charge. Electricity is related to magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as described by Maxwell's equations.

  3. Lemon battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_battery

    For children in the age range 10−13, batteries are used to illustrate the connection between chemistry and electricity as well as to deepen the circuit concept for electricity. The fact that different chemical elements such as copper and zinc are used can be placed in the larger context that the elements do not disappear or break down when ...

    Benjamin Franklin Drawing Electricity from the Sky, an artistic rendition of Franklin's kite experiment painted by Benjamin West, c. 1816 The BEP engraved the vignette Franklin and Electricity (c. 1860) which was used on the $10 National Bank Note from the 1860s to 1890s.

  5. Volt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt

    Volta had determined that the most effective pair of dissimilar metals to produce electricity was zinc and silver. In 1861, Latimer Clark and Sir Charles Bright coined the name "volt" for the unit of resistance. [11] By 1873, the British Association for the Advancement of Science had defined the volt, ohm, and farad. [12]

  6. Voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage

    Voltage, also known as (electrical) potential difference, electric pressure, or electric tension is the difference in electric potential between two points. [1] [2] In a static electric field, it corresponds to the work needed per unit of charge to move a positive test charge from the first point to the second point.

  7. History of electric power transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_electric_power...

    Streetcars created enormous demand for early electricity. This Siemens Tram from 1884 required 500 V direct current, which was typical. Much of early electricity was direct current, which could not easily be increased or decreased in voltage either for long-distance transmission or for sharing a common line to be used with multiple types of electric devices.

  8. James Clerk Maxwell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Clerk_Maxwell

    James Clerk Maxwell FRS FRSE (13 June 1831 – 5 November 1879) was a Scottish physicist and mathematician [1] who was responsible for the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, which was the first theory to describe electricity, magnetism and light as different manifestations of the same phenomenon.

  9. Electricity generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation

    Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy.For utilities in the electric power industry, it is the stage prior to its delivery (transmission, distribution, etc.) to end users or its storage, using for example, the pumped-storage method.
