9

Heat generation
One of the important effect of electricity is heat generation. Depends on voltage & current.

10

Physiological effects
Electricity has an influence to living organisms. It depends on how much current flow through the body.

11

Chemical effects
Electricity has a chemical effect as in battery charging.

12

Magnetically effect
Electricity create magnetic field. There are many applications for this effect.

13

Light related effects

Electricity creates light by the flow of electrical current. The two main families of electric light are:
Incandescent lamps. Gas-discharge lamps.

14

Generation of Electricity
Induction. Chemical reaction. Electrostatic Charge. Thermo electricity.
15

Induction
Changes in the magnetic flux will induce a voltage in a conductor. This inducted voltage exists only as long as the magnetic flux lines are cut.

16

Chemical reaction
Chemical reaction between some active materials will generate electricity. Battery is an example.

17

Electrostatic Charge
Electrostatic is the branch of physics that deals with the phenomena and properties of stationary electric charges.

18

Thermo electricity
Some components generate electricity by heat. Thermocouples are examples.

19

Magnetism & Electricity

Introduction. Types of Magnets. Applications.

20

Introduction
Magnetism is a force that acts at a distance and is caused by a magnetic field. This force strongly attracts ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel and cobalt

21

Introduction
Each magnet is surrounded by a magnetic field which is strongest at the ends of the magnet. Each magnet always has two poles which are called north and south pole.

22

Types of Magnets
There are three types of magnets:
Natural. Man made or Artificial. Electromagnet.

23

Applications
Many electrical systems use the magnetic effect of electricity. Relays, solenoids and starters are examples.

24

Summary
Effects to Electricity. Generation of Electricity. Magnetism & Electricity.

25
