Left to its own devices, electricity wouldn’t be much good to us because it requires some discipline to be useful. This discipline, in the form of electrical current, corrals the charged electrons that make electricity and directs them so they can power our lights, computers, and electric apple peelers. Your local utility company’s generators produce the electricity and then “pipe” it to your home through wires and transformers. The only time this is of any great interest to you is when there’s a disruption in the distribution system that results in your power going off and your digital clocks reverting to that annoying, flashing 12:00 signal when the power comes on again. Once the power lines enter your house, your interest naturally perks up. Here, the comfort and safety of you and your family are your number-one concerns.
