The word "electric" comes from "electrica," a term
based on the Latin word for amber (electrum) and
coined by scientist William Gilbert in the 1600s.
Amber, which is composed of fossilized tree sap, is
easy to ignite and will generate static electricity when
it's rubbed.

Common reasons why your light💡 switch is hot 🔥:
-The wires connecting to the switch are loose.
-A light switch is overloaded (i.e., too many lights or fans are connected to the same switch, causing it to need to draw more current than it’s rated for).
-There is faulty wiring behind the switch.
-The switch is failing in such a way that a small spark ⚡️ happens each time a light is turned on and off, thereby creating heat. If this is the case, the light switch will need to be replaced.
-A light switch may have been installed incorrectly.

Did you know that when lightning strikes, it flows
from darkened cloud and then to the ground? In fact,
we do not see this; when we see a lightning strike
what we are seeing is actually the electrical charge
from the strike going back up into the cloud!
