2. Electrical grid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid

   An electrical grid (or electricity network) is an interconnected network for electricity delivery from producers to consumers. Electrical grids consist of power stations , electrical substations to step voltage up or down, electric power transmission to carry power over long distances, and finally electric power distribution to customers.

3. North American power transmission grid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_power...

   The electric power transmission grid of the contiguous United States consists of 120,000 miles (190,000 km) of lines operated by 500 companies. The electrical power grid that powers Northern America is not a single grid, but is instead divided into multiple wide area synchronous grids. [1] The Eastern Interconnection and the Western ...

4. Bioelectromagnetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectromagnetics

   Bioelectromagnetics, also known as bioelectromagnetism, is the study of the interaction between electromagnetic fields and biological entities. Areas of study include electromagnetic fields produced by living cells, tissues or organisms, the effects of man-made sources of electromagnetic fields like mobile phones, and the application of electromagnetic radiation toward therapies for the ...

5. Electric power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_system

   An electric power system is a network of electrical components deployed to supply, transfer, and use electric power. An example of a power system is the electrical grid that provides power to homes and industries within an extended area. The electrical grid can be broadly divided into the generators that supply the power, the transmission ...

6. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

   The combined transmission and distribution network is part of electricity delivery, known as the electrical grid. Efficient long-distance transmission of electric power requires high voltages. This reduces the losses produced by strong currents. Transmission lines use either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC).

7. Electricity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity

   e. 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. Common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity ...

8. Eastern Interconnection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Interconnection

   The electric power transmission grid of the contiguous United States consists of 120,000 miles (190,000 km) of lines operated by 500 companies. The Eastern Interconnection is one of the two major alternating-current (AC) electrical grids in the North American power transmission grid. The other major interconnection is the Western Interconnection.

9. Luigi Galvani - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Galvani

   Luigi Galvani (/ ɡælˈvɑːni /, also US: / ɡɑːl -/; [1][2][3][4] Italian: [luˈiːdʒi ɡalˈvaːni]; Latin: Aloysius Galvanus; 9 September 1737 – 4 December 1798) was an Italian physician, physicist, biologist and philosopher, who studied animal electricity. In 1780, using a frog, he discovered that the muscles of dead frogs' legs ...
