  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. The History and Present State of Electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_and_Present...

    The first half of the 700-page book is a history of the study of electricity. It is parted into ten periods, starting with early experiments "prior to those of Mr. Hawkesbee", finishing with variable experiments and discoveries made after Franklin's own experiments.

  4. Power system reliability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_reliability

    The power system reliability (sometimes grid reliability) is the probability of a normal operation of the electrical grid at a given time. Reliability indices characterize the ability of the electrical system to supply customers with electricity as needed [1] by measuring the frequency, duration, and scale of supply interruptions. [2]

  5. Environmental impact of electricity generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of...

    The environmental impact of electricity generation from wind power is minor when compared to that of fossil fuel power. [58] Wind turbines have some of the lowest global warming potential per unit of electricity generated: far less greenhouse gas is emitted than for the average unit of electricity, so wind power helps limit climate change. [59]

  7. Poisson's electrical and magnetical investigations were generalized and extended in 1828 by George Green. Green's treatment is based on the properties of the function already used by Lagrange, Laplace, and Poisson, which represents the sum of all the electric or magnetic charges in the field, divided by their respective distances from some given point: to this function Green gave the name ...

  9. Sources of electrical energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sources_of_electrical_energy

    Friction is the least-used of the six methods of producing energy. If a cloth rubs against an object, the object will display an effect called friction electricity. The object becomes charged due to the rubbing process, and now possesses an static electrical charge, hence it is also called static electricity. There are two main types of ...
