Transformers: How they are use to minimise energy loss during power transmission

Electricity generated in the power station is transmitted over very long distances to our homes. To ensure that this transmission is done as efficiently as possible, high voltage transmission is used. How is this high voltage electricity brought down to low voltage for home use then? By use of Transformers!

Magnetism: Uses of magnets in our lives

Magnets and magnetic materials play important roles in our lives! Our homes have some form of magnets/electromagnets because many of our electrical appliances and even our circuit breakers and doorbells require the use of magnets to function. Watch the following video to learn more.
