Effects of electrical energy

Electrical energy has following effects: 1. Biological effect: Electrical energy has effect on biological cells. Electrical current through human body or living beings produces biological reactions. Example: electrical shock. 2. Electro-mechanical effect: Two current carrying conductors have mechanical attraction or repulsion due to the magnetic field produced by them. It may be noted that, electrical energy can be converted to mechanical energy by using motors and mechanical energy can be converted to electrical energy by using generators. 3. Electro-thermal effect: Electrical current passing through a conductor produces heat due to losses. This effect will be normally used in Electric Ovens and Furnaces. 4. Electro chemical effect: Electric current passing through electrolyte produces electrolysis. Example: electroplating.

Rules for writing SI Units

1. Symbols for units are written without capital letters, except when it is derived from name. Example: "t" for time "h" for hour "m" for meter 2. Symbols for units derived from proper name are written in capital. Example: "A" for ampere "W" for watt 3.Full names of units are written with lower case letters only. Example: newton henry 4. A space is left between symbols of compound units. Example: N m 5. A space is left between the number and symbol. Example: 56 J 5 A 6. Only one SI prefix is permitted. Example: kA MJ 7. A symbol should not be followed by a fullstop except when it is a product. Example: kg.m 8. Numerals with more than three digits shall be written without commas and with a narrow spacing at an interval of three digits. Example: 45 006 72 674 9. A number with four figures is not broken as mentioned above. Example: 4321 10. A symbol of a unit is placed after the decimal ...
