Industry use of current electricity
Industries use current electricity to power machines and equipment essential for
manufacturing and production. For example, textile mills use electric looms, car
factories operate robotic arms and conveyor belts, and food processing plants run
mixers and packaging machines. Welding machines, and electric drills also rely on
current electricity.

Project 2.2

In groups, identify 3 other uses of current electricity apart from what is mentioned
in this part.
