Electrochemistry
Let’s talk about electrochemistry. Think of it as the place where chemistry and electricity meet. It’s a field that looks at the connection between what’s happening electrically (like voltage or current) and what’s changing chemically.

Electricity
Alright, let’s talk about electricity! In the world of electrical engineering, electricity is basically the study and application of how stuff with electric charge behaves. Think of it as a fundamental force of nature, just like gravity, but it deals with charged particles.

Electrical telegraph
Alright, let’s dive into the fascinating world of electrical telegraphy. Imagine a time when the fastest way to send a message across land was by carrying it physically or using visual signals like flags or smoke. Electrical telegraphy changed all that, kicking off what we now call telecommunications. It’s a really important part of history, especially for us in electrical engineering, because it was essentially the very first electrical telecommunications system and arguably the first big win for electrical engineering as a field.

Electrical substation
Okay, picture this: electricity is made at a power plant, right? But that power needs to travel, sometimes hundreds of miles, to get to your house or office. It also needs to be safe to use when it arrives. That’s where electrical substations come in.

Electrical relay
Alright, let’s talk about relays! Imagine you have a switch that needs to turn something big and powerful on or off, but you don’t want to physically wire the small button you press directly to that big thing. Or maybe you need one small signal to flip several switches at once. That’s where a relay comes in super handy.

Electrical power
Okay, let’s talk about electrical power. Think of it like the “oomph” or the rate at which electrical energy does work or is transferred in an electric circuit. It’s a pretty fundamental concept in electrical engineering, telling you how much energy is being used or delivered over a certain time.

Electrical noise
Imagine trying to listen to a quiet radio station, but there’s a lot of crackling and buzzing in the background. That annoying background sound is like electrical noise. In the world of electrical engineering, noise is basically any unwanted signal that gets mixed in with the signal you do want. It’s like a disturbance that messes things up.
