What are some advantages and disadvantages of using electrical equipment?
This is a pretty complex question and could take a lot of time and space. The first answer has summed up the reasons in a nutshell but the following might help. Electricity has made power portable. Tools can be used almost anywhere that a supply is available. The same goes for entertainment systems that are plugged in and are ready to use. Batteries also come into the analysis as they make power portable as well as the tools and equipment. A downside is that electricity needs to be manufactured at a power station and then distributed to homes and factories etc. This means that to make 100Kw of power it is necessary to burn perhaps 13Kw in fuel in order to generate the power, because power stations cannot be 100% efficient. They are in fact far from it. So if one considers the carbons effect on the atmosphere then using electricity is adding to it not lessening it. This is often confused with atmospheric pollution in city centres. Electric vehicles will cure this but in terms of carbon
