What are the things in your home that need electricity to work?
Things in a home that need electricity to work include:
Fans (for cooling) and air conditioners (for cooling) help maintain comfortable temperatures indoors. Lights and bulbs (for lighting) illuminate our living spaces.
Kitchen appliances include the refrigerator (for keeping food cold), mixer or grinder (for grinding food), and microwave oven (for cooking).
For entertainment and work, devices like the television and computer or laptop require electrical power to function.
Household chores are made easier with the electric iron (for pressing clothes), washing machine (for washing clothes), and electric geyser (for heating water).
Additionally, the mobile phone charger (for charging phones) needs electricity to keep our devices powered.
