Electric Light and Electricity

Theory, Culture & Society, 2013
This paper argues that cultural analyses of electric light, including aspects of actor-network theory, may raise the spectre of complexity, but do not do it justice when they omit to provide analysis of the intertwined roles of culture and political economy in the formation of the provision and use of electric light.

ELECTRICITY

1974
Publisher Summary Electric charge is one of the fundamental characteristics of matter. An object is given an electrical charge by changing the number of electrons. The addition of electrons results in a negative charge whereas the removal of the electrons results in a positive charge.

Electrical safety and electrical welders [PDF]

open access: possible2014 IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop, 2014
It is typical for personnel using electric welders to use two leads, an electrode lead and a ground lead. This paper will review the use of the ground lead, rename it as a “work” lead, redefine the term “ground” lead, and recommend how to use this new “ground” lead.

Electrical safety of electric vehicles

2017 IEEE/IAS 53rd Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS), 2017
This paper discusses fundamental electrical safety issues, and the protection against electric shock of persons interacting with electric vehicles. The safety of users may be challenged by the vehicle's increased operating voltages, at different frequencies, possibly making more complex the protection against direct and indirect contacts.

Electrical Energy and Electrical Tariffs

1985
The amount of heat energy, W joules or watt seconds, produced by a current of I amperes flowing in a resistor R ohms for t seconds is $$ W = {I^2}Rt\,{\text{joules (J) or watt seconds}} $$ Thus, if 1 A flows for 1 second in a resistance of 1 Ω, the energy dissipated is $$ W = {I^2} \times 1 \times 1 = 1\,{\text{J}} $$ However, if 100 A ...

Electrical Safety

2009
Since the purpose of clinical neurophysiology testing is to record the electrical activity of the nervous system, and often to electrically stimulate the peripheral or central nervous system (for evoked potentials, nerve conduction studies, etc.), these tests by their very nature demand an excellent electrical connection to the patient.
