Think for a moment, the world without electricity. There will be no bulb, tube, computer, TV, AC, Refrigerator, fan, cooler, heater, mobile and many more. The list is endless. It is difficult even to imagine modern life without electricity. Electricity has become an integral part of our life. The electricity for homes, offices, factories, industries, etc. is generated at electric power plants. Besides a boon, electricity can be dangerous if handled carelessly. Accidents, fires and injuries can occur unalarmingly. Therefore, extreme caution is required to avoid any mis-happening. We should use all the safety precautions recommended for electric connections and devices.
