Electricity is not only found in power lines and electronics made by man, but is also found in nature. In fact electricity is all around us. We see it in lightning storms, animals use it as a defense, even our bodies use it to send messages to our muscles.

An example of electricity in nature is lightning. Lightning is a discharge of static electricity in the atmosphere. A harmless form of static electricity occurs when you rub your feet across a rug and then touch something metal. You will feel a small electrical shock or charge move through your hand.

Electricity in Nature

• Lightning. Lightning and thunder happen simultaneously, but lightning travels near the speed of light while thunder moves at the speed of sound, approximately 866,000 times slower than the speed of light, which explains the delay between the two phenomena.
• Electric fish.
• Solar storms.

Clearly then, the minimum voltage potential for a human body is greater than 3.5 trillion volts. While it’s not the 70 trillion volts as I mentioned in the lecture, it is still a mind boggling potential power.

When meter balance reaches zero, the meter switches off the electricity that powers your house. Indeed, the prepaid electricity meter has a relay (an automatic switch) which disconnects the power when there is no units left. When you top up, the meter balance increases and the relays lets electricity flows again.

The energy expert also pointed out that most prepaid users don’t know that the best time to top up their electricity is on the first of the month. So if you pay as you go through the month, or pay for more power than you need, you will end up paying more, but not getting more units on average, Blom said.

Tamperers say that strategically placed magnets can slow the spinning metal wheel that measures consumption in old-style analog meters. New digital smart meters are not influenced by magnets, experts say. Utilities do not take magnets lightly, Texas plumber James Hutcheson learned in 2014.

There we’ll show you some ways to avoid the PHCN Prepaid Meter from reading fast rather than cutting the live wires….

1. Power Conservation.
2. Buy Energy Efficient Appliances.
3. Use Solar Water Heaters Instead.

If the meter stops, turn on 1 appliance at a time and check the meter. If the meter starts to move very quickly, the appliance could be faulty. If the meter is still moving, it’s probably faulty.

High electricity bills may be due to an electricity meter that is incorrectly recording the amount of electricity you are using, but this is unusual. While there is no simple way you can test whether your meter is accurate, if you are concerned about your meter readings, contact your energy supplier.

In 2019 the average combined gas and electricity bill for UK households reached an eye-watering £1,289 a year. Broken down, the average electricity bill was £679 – an increase of 6% compared to 2018. As for gas, the average bill was estimated as £610 – a rise of 2.8%.

Unplugging your appliances probably won’t leave you noticeably richer, but it’s a relatively easy way to save 5 to 10 percent on your electric bill. And if you can convince your friends and neighbors to eliminate phantom power, too, the cumulative effect could be truly impressive.

By scanning data on the cost of electricity by state, we can see that Hawaii is home to the most expensive electricity in the U.S., having both the largest U.S. bill and the highest electricity prices per kWh). Locals on average pay $149.33 monthly at a rate of 29.50 cents per kWh.
