My Explanation




WALT: write a explanation

Have you ever wondered how Electricity travels?



Today we need electricity to survive. Electricity helps us live. Without electricity we will not be able to do many things like cook on the oven, search the internet or watch T.V for the news.


Did you know that most of your electricity first comes from power stations? Inside a power station is a device called a generator which is is an electrical appliance. Not many people know that an energy source - like wind water and coal turns the huge blades of a turbine inside of a generator which spins a powerful magnet.The spinning magnet creates a flow of electricity.


As strange as it may seem, after a while power lines from the power plant go to a place where transformers reduce the voltage. Did you know that eventually the distribution lines carry electricity to homes and buildings? This is where electricity is produced to turn on the electrical appliances. Distribution lines can be located overhead or under ground
