Power Transmission and Safety

Moving Electricity Safely

Getting electricity from power plants to your home involves high voltages, transformers, and careful engineering to reduce losses.

Transformers

Transformers use electromagnetic induction to change voltage levels, making transmission efficient and safe.

Staying Safe

Understanding circuits and insulation is key to keeping people safe from electric shocks and fires.

Everyday Impact

Thanks to physics, you can flip a switch and enjoy instant light or charge your devices!

Examples

  • Explaining why power lines are so high off the ground.

  • Understanding the role of circuit breakers in your home’s safety.
