    1. What is electricity?

    Electricity is the movement of small particles known as electrons and protons. The movement of
    electrical power or charge is referred to as electricity. Electricity is both a fundamental component of
    nature and one of the most extensively used types of energy.. A bolt of lightning is an example of
    electricity in nature. Lightning is just a big number of electrons moving through air at the same time,
    releasing a massive quantity of energy. Scientists have also discovered ways to produce, or manufacture,
    electricity. This is advantageous since the produced electricity can be managed and sent through cables. It
    may then be used to power devices such as heaters, light bulbs, and computers. Today, electricity supplies
    the majority of the energy required to power the contemporary world.

    2. Give examples of electrical symbols:

    An isolator is a mechanical switch that separates a portion of a circuit from the


    rest of the system as needed. Electrical isolators isolate a portion of the
    system from the remainder of the system to allow for safe maintenance
    operations.

    Diodes are semiconductor devices that enable current to flow in just one
    direction.

    A test point is a position within an electrical circuit that is used to either


    monitor or inject test signals.

    Wire is used to connect the components in a circuit


    A battery is a container made up of one or more cells that convert chemical
    energy into electricity and are used as a source of power.

    3. Basic electrical instruments and its usage:

    A wattmeter is a piece of measurement equipment that displays the


    electrical power of devices that are powered by electricity.
    Wattmeter is a one-of-a-kind gadget that monitors power use and
    manages energy savings. Once-commonly-used digital gadgets
    featuring an LCD display. Watts, the standard unit of
    measurement, are used to measure and show electrical power.

    A voltmeter, often known as a voltage meter, is a measuring device used


    to determine the potential difference, or voltage, between two points in
    an electrical or electronic circuit. Some voltmeters are built for
    direct current (DC) circuits, while others are for alternating current
    (AC) circuits. Radio frequency (RF) voltage may be measured using
    specialized voltmeters.

    A capacitance meter is a piece of electrical test equipment that is used


    to measure capacitance, primarily in the case of discrete
    capacitors. Depending on the meter's sophistication, it may merely
    display capacitance or it may additionally measure other
    characteristics such as leakage, equivalent series resistance (ESR), and
    inductance. The capacitor must be unplugged from the
    circuit for most reasons and in most instances; ESR may typically be
    measured in circuit.

    Ammeters were laboratory equipment that were powered by the earth's


    magnetic field. The ammeter, which could be put in any position
    and could take accurate measurements, was created in the nineteenth
    century.
    An ammeter is a device that measures alternating or direct current. We
    all know that an ampere is a unit of current. This instrument is
    called as an ammeter because it measures the value in amperes.

    kWh meters are small electronic monitoring devices that measure the
    amount of energy spent as it flows through a circuit, such as a
    normal 120V or 240V line, and serve as a kWh calculator. The meter is
    connected to the circuit delivering the power, such as a
    main panel or distribution sub panel, and accumulates a totalized
    reading that accounts for the consumption passing through. The entire
    power in kilowatts utilized over time is represented by the
    cumulative number, which gives you the energy in kilowatt hour.
