The use of electricity is fundamental to modern life and the potentials for more developments and researches in this field are immense in order to utilize electricity efficiently and effectively and at the same time to combat climate changes and pollution by cutting down on the burning of coal which is used to produce energy (electricity) to supply thousands of factories in the industrial world. My fascination in this field is further nurtured during my senior high school years when I participated in the “Mighty Minds Challenge” organized by the The Star Publications where my friends and I were required to design a lamp model which used solar energy to produce light. Although we did not qualify for the next round, to me it was indeed a valuable experience. But more importantly, the set-back only served to spur me on to do better and enable me to understand how various principles of science can be applied to solve a specific
