That voltage, you can kind of view it as the electric pressure.

It also enhances the electric current.

The conserved current is the electric current.

Blackouts are not fun.

So now using the commutator, we have essentially created an electric motor.

Now, when electric current was applied to the coil,

Let me briefly address the question of power outages.

So the depletion layer actually acts as a barrier, preventing the flow of electric current through the transistor.

The vessel is heated at the desired rate by applying power to the heating coil.

Obviously, Ben Franklin is very excited, because he gets to do an experiment with electricity.

In the early days there were a few other methods of current collection.

Power outages and computer crashes also pose problems.

Right, the current wants to run through the play dough, not through that LED.

Twice she was involved in surgeries where they lost power at the hospital.

And that current, electrical current, is carried by electrons, just like in your house and so on.

This led to the 'galvanometer,' which was designed to detect and measure electrical current.

Life in Gaza is very difficult. Actually we can't describe everything.

The complete process, which also generates an electric ring current around the Earth, is uncertain.

There's a lot of iron under the land and it slows up the electric current.

JH Because if the power went out, there would just be a big noise.

Power cuts and public service strikes are a regular feature of daily life.

The allegations were much more serious this time and included claims that he had been subjected to torture involving the use of electricity.

Rwanda also had no electricity, which paralysed normal operations.

I think there's been a power cut at the Pirate Bay again.

The required direction of current depended on the direction in which electric current was thought to flow in nerves in the human or animal body.

The electric current in Thailand is 220 volts AC (50 Hertz) throughout the country.

(iv) During drought years, industrial production is disrupted by frequent cuts in electricity

And still a third group got a message about being good citizens, preventing blackouts.

Brown intended to use alternating current (AC), then emerging as a potent rival to direct current (DC), which was further along in commercial development.

Monitoring of the electricity used can be achieved remotely and assessments of frequency and duration of operations can be produced

Imagine sitting down to start working, and all of a sudden the power goes out, your Internet connection goes down with it, so you have to figure out, okay, now, where's the modem, how do I switch back?

Shortage of goods owing to delays, thereby reducing supplies available to the population and interrupting high priority manufacturing operations

It can be off, so you could call that the zero state or it could be on, the one state.

In many towns and villages, there was no electricity, so water pumps were not operable.

40. During the past year, Kabul has suffered for long periods from complete breakdowns of electricity and water supply.

Currently about 25 per cent of the 442 villages in East Timor have electric power. 36

It acts as a backup to the Internet so that, when the power goes out, it fails over and connects to the nearest GSM network.

I would pay a good price to see you wearing only one stocking and your tearedup dress to fix the electrode on your skin!

I do regret that it has affected those people whose power supplies broke down as a result of deficiencies, not of any policy and I do regret that, for some people who are not prepared to pay their bills, it is has not been possible to reconnect.

Lack of reliable electricity is a serious constraint on Kosovo's development.

Systems requiring large amounts of electricity will be of little use in regions with no electricity.

Are nerves simply the wires in the body that conduct electricity, like the wires in the walls of your home or in your computer?

The true explanation was reserved for Faraday, namely, that electric currents are induced in the copper disc by the cutting of the magnetic lines of force of the needle, which currents in turn react on the needle.

Notice, at the lowest level, this system is exchanging either the presence or absence of electrical current in a sequence divided using a clock.

Now, at first, the utility of electric current as a communication method was not immediately obvious, aside from its ability to produce faint sparks and bubbles.
