Direction: Using the illustration below, trace how electricity is generated, transmitted,
and distributed to the consumers. Arrange the steps that follow according
to their correct order. Write the number before each statement

_____ Electricity flows from the power plant through wires to the step-up transformer.
The transformer raises the voltage so it can travel long distances – it is raised to
as high as 756, 000 volts.
_____ Electricity is taken through the lines to a pole transformer – or a transformer
box if underground – and voltage is lowered again to 120 or 220 or 240 volts.
____ From there, electricity comes into your home through a service box, where your
meter is located to measure how much you use. Wires take electricity around
your home, powering your lights and all your other electrical appliances.
_____ Steam is generated in the power plant by burning fossil fuels or by nuclear
fission or geothermal energy.
_____ The electric current then runs through the power lines to the substation
transformer where voltage is lowered to between 2000 and 13000 volts.
_____ The steam powers a turbine which spins a huge magnet inside a copper wire.
Heat energy converts to mechanical energy which then converts to electrical
energy in the generator.
