It wasn't until 1831 that electricity became viable for use in technology. English scientist Michael Faraday created the electric dynamo, a crude precursor of modern power generators. This invention opened the door to the new era of electricity. A few decades later, in 1879, Thomas Alva Edison invented the light bulb

How do light dimmers save electricity?

Light dimmers save electricity by reducing the amount of power that is sent to the light bulb, which in turn decreases the brightness of the light. By using less power, light dimmers help to lower energy consumption and ultimately save electricity.


Why does my blanket light up when I touch it?

When you touch your blanket, static electricity is created. This causes the blanket to light up because the static electricity can generate a small amount of light.


How electrical energy converted in to light energy?

Electricity can be converted to light using light bulb. An incandescence light bulb produce light by passing electricity through filament (resistance) and create heat so hot that it radiate out light. It also can produce light using Electro-luminescence effect as in LED lamb or using ionized gas discharged as in Fluorescent lamb.


Do dimmer switches save electricity compared to regular light switches?

Yes, dimmer switches can save electricity compared to regular light switches because they allow you to adjust the brightness of the light, using only the amount of electricity needed for the desired level of light.
