It can be used produce magnetic fields, which can be used to propel motors. It is very transformable. It is very fast, virtually the speed of light. It can be used to produce other forms of radiant energy, such as radio waves, microwaves, radiant heat and light
Disadvantages:
1.We use other dirtier forms of energy (nuclear, fossil fuels) to produce it
2.There is growing concern that the magnetic fields around transmission lines may be unhealthy
3. Electricity can cause pollution if it is generated by fossil fuels, or nuclear energy. It can affect animal life if it is generated by hydroelectric dams or tidal power.
4. Electric devices, circuits, conduits, and transmission lines present a shock hazard to people: those who use it, those who work with it, and those who provide it. Short circuits and sparks also present a fire hazard.
5. High voltage lines are thought to cause hazards to plants, animals and people who live near them, because they produce magnetic and EMF fields.
6. People who have become dependent solely on electricity may be unable to function without it in an emergency.
