What are the Common Misconceptions About Electricity

 Electricity is a very common term in our daily life. Our regular activities largely depend on electricity. As we are dependent on technology it's a must to have electricity in the first place. Home, schools, factories all depend on electricity. In summer it's impossible to stay without electricity. but regarding this common term, we all have some misconceptions. From the general people to engineering students a huge portion of people holds these misconceptions. Today I will discuss some common misconceptions about electricity and its solution. So let's check it out.



1. High resistance bulbs are brighter than low resistance bulbs

Some think that the more resistance a bulb has the more it will transfer the energy. But it is a full misconception. This thinking comes from, resistance which is an obstacle for current to flow, so the more current tries to get through, the more electricity passes through the wire. but the resistance has nothing to do about the brightness of a bulb. If the resistance is thee maybe less electricity but the brightness will be always the same. And if the resistance is too high the current flow will be zero and no energy will be transferred. 

2. Charges move very quickly through empty wires.

People think that in empty wires there is no resistance to the current flow will be very easy and quick. But in wires, there are already full of free electrons and they move very slow and at the same time. The wires have resistance where the electrons speed up. In the flow the faster moving electrons meet with lattice and energy can be transferred through resistance in the wire. 

3. The current takes the easiest path

This topic is discussed in the short and parallel circuits where there is different resistance. It is a very common misconception among people. It is not the current who changes roue. If the circuit is changed the current flow will automatically be changed according to the circuit. If the circuit is changed then the current is changed.

4. Electric shocks are common to mammals 

We always see that birds are not electrified when they sit on electric wire. So the thinking automatically comes that electric shocks are only applicable for mammals. But it is not completely true. If an animal can complete a circuit then the electricity will flow in them and they will get an electric shock. 

5. When the switch is off there is no electricity

This is a very common misconception. After we turn off the switch there is still electric energy. That's why we see light for a few seconds in the bulb after turning off the switch. Because for a few moments the energy can be stored.

The Causes of Load Shedding

 Load shedding is a terrible thing to experience. Especially in summer. But have we ever wondered what causes load shedding? Load shedding is the shutdown of the power distribution system when the capacity of power is less than the demand. Today we will discuss this topic briefly.  Load Shedding Load shedding is an intentional blackout in engineer electrical power shutdown for a time period in different parts of the distribution region. Load shedding depends on the shortage of capacity to meet the demand for electricity. load shedding occurs to avoid a complete blackout of the power system. Blackouts can be localized to a specific part of it can be in the whole country. Sometimes blackouts can happen due to extreme weather. Usually, the blackouts can be caused by insufficient capacity or inadequate infrastructure to deliver power.  The causes of load shedding 1. System loss After producing the power the next part is to distribute it among the consumers. But if the suppli...

5 Ways How Artificial Intelligence Will Impact Our Future

In the world of technology AI is on the tip of everyone's tongue these days. AI being a major trend in tech development for a while, AI appearing more and more like one of the most demands in areas of expertise. Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. Specific applications of AI include expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition, and machine vision. Most artificial intelligence systems have the ability to learn, which allows improving their performance over time. The recent research on AI tools, including machine learning, deep learning, and predictive analysis intended toward increasing the planning, learning, reasoning, thinking, and action-taking ability. As AI is becoming part of our life, it will affect our future nearly. Here I am showing some of the scenarios that can be happen in near future: Transportation: Although it could take a decade or more to happen, autonomous cars will...

What Does It Mean By Dny11 in Transformer?

We often see transformers in our way almost every day, everywhere. We all might have noticed that there is something written in the transformer like Dny11. But we don't know what does it mean? We can guess that the numbers on the transformer windings show the turns ratio between windings. But by reading this article we might confirm this guess.  The first letter D shows that the primary winding configuration is in delta connection. The second small letter n shows that it has the neutral point and the small y shows that it is star connected. Letter 11 shows the phase difference between the primary and secondary connection according to clock configuration. When the clock hands are between 11 and 12 the angle between them is 30 degrees. So, Dny11 means  D- Primary winding in delta connection ny-Secondary winding in star connection with a neutral point 11- There is a phase angle difference of 30 degrees between the primary and secondary line voltages. The secondary line voltage la...
