Essay on electricity as friend or foe
Answers
“Everything in the universe is made up of atoms, and atoms are made of electricity. Electricity is all throughout space, because of the loose electrons in space. There are electrons inside stars, and on all planets. Lightning is just one form of natural electricity. When life started in the beginning on our planet, electricity probably had something to do with it. And inside your body, your thoughts are really little spurts of electricity that travel along your nerves and between cells in your brain. When a person has a seizure, that is when too much natural electricity gets loose in their brain and probably when we die, it is because of any vital electric circuit failure in our body!”
Electricity is a form of energy that is inside us as well all around us from micro-volts to mega-volts. It is our best friend as long as we treat it properly but might be much more lethal than king cobra and may result into death with slight mishandling….so no excuse, no second chance!
According to a survey nearly 1200 people die in the country like United States each year from electric shocks on 120V or 277V circuits. Death occurs when voltage pushes electrons through the human body, particularly the heart. An electric shock from as little as 50VAC for as little as 1 sec can disrupt the heart’s rhythm, causing death in a matter of minutes.
Answer:
In today’s age everyone has a house full of electrical gadgets, equipment and tools. Electricity is a form of energy. It is even related to the development of communication, industrial progress and science and technology. We are reliant on electricity, life without it would be hard!
Electricity can be a very good friend and at the same time it may be deadly as a poisonous scorpion. Electricity if used properly, we can do many complex works easily. We can use electricity for lighting, cooking foods and operating electrical gadgets like television, washing machine, etc. Electricity can also be used to run big machines in the industries. In the same way, if electricity isn't used properly it may cause huge problems and sometimes even accidents. When we uselessly turn ON the lights, fans, etc, we are wasting the energy which is produced. When people keep the stadium lights ON, few days before the match itself, as a part of testing, and thus are wasting thousands of kWh of energy. Even sometime due to excessive use of electricity, the circuit board tends to overheat and sometimes even blast causing accidents.
So, electricity if used properly can be a good friend and at the same time it can be a bad enemy if not used properly.
