WONDERS OF ELECTRICITY

                      

Ø INTRODUCTION:-

      A GREAT INVENTION:

                                       The comforts of modern living cannot be thought of without electricity. Since its very invention in

the last century, electricity has been put to use in several ways and today we have practically become the slaves of this invisible power.

Ø DOMESTIC USES OF ELECTRICITY:

                                                   We light our houses with electric lamps, work under electric fans, live in air-conditioned houses, travel in electric cars and electric trains, press electric bells to call our servants, use electric washing machines and enjoy T.V. and films, all worked by electric power. Thus in almost every field of life of modern living, we depend on the house of electricity.

Ø INDUSTRIAL IMPORTANCE OF ELECTRICITY:

                                                                 The development of industry in the modern age is entirely a miracle of electricity. In every factory and mill, it is the electric current that turns the wheel of machines.

                   The country who can produce sufficient electricity for industrial and domestic use can manage to progress speedily. The total industrial produce and commercial turnover of a country depends on the quantity of electric power available for industry and transport.

Ø PROGRESS IN THE FIELD OF MEDICINE:

                                                        Electricity has not only revolutionized our industry and commerce, it also has brought for us great facilities in the field of education and health. Treatment by X-rays and electrotherapy would have been impossible without the help of electricity. Diagnosis and operations in many complicated diseases are done only with electric power and for almost all chemical preparations and medicines, electricity is must. Even in the field of education, we find electricity very useful. Education through films, radio and tape records have been possible only with the help of electricity.

Ø CONCLUSION:

                     In brief electricity is a servant that serves us for twenty four hours, both in the house as well as outside the home. It is a good servant only till the time you keep it under your thumb.

Ø It is said that:

v“It is very obedient servant but a bad master.”

But it is true that every picture has two sides. Electricity also has some disadvantages.

Thousands of people in every country die every year simply because of electric shocks. As soon as this giant is out of control, it becomes extremely dangerous. Therefore alongwith its all blessings, its risks should also be put in mind.

                        On the whole, electricity is a very useful and important invention.

Ø A critic says that:

v“It has become a part and parcel of modern living.”

                  Its advantages are so much that people forget its dangers and very often become a prey to it. But it is not a fault of electricity but with those who use it.
