FACTS WORTH KNOWING
ABOUT ELECTRICITY

Electricity is measured by the llilo-
watt hour. The rates for buying cur
rent from the electric light plant for
power, light or heat are always so
much for each kilowatt hour OF cleo
tricity consumed. To explain the
term needs. first, clear definition,
a-d then a comparison. Every one
will understand that a certain amount
of force must be used to drive electric
energy through 4 circuit This force
Is measured In volts; thus we have
ll0-volt circuits. and 220-yolt circuits,
the one expressing just twice the
force OF the other; but the quantity
of current passing through a circuit
depends upon the force aud the re-
slstance This quantity is expressed
by different term. namely ampheres,
Now the efficacy OF the current de.
pends upon both force and quantity.
and TO express this efficacy or united
action We multiply the force by the
quantity: that is the volts by the
ampheres. We express the result in
watts. Thus 40 volts multiplied by 5
ampheres is LOO watts. a kilowatt
is OF course 900 watts, which is the
equivalent TO about 1-3 horsepower
in charging a battery the lighting
companies bill for the use OF so many
waus for so many hours: thus. 900
watts Tor 10 hours would bo charged
as 10 kllowatt hours, which at cents
kilowatt hour would be 30 cents, a
charge that seems little enough for 10
hours use at 1-3 horsepower. But
what kilowatt hour is worth NAV be
Judged by what IL viii do. Thus. a
