Question

Which statement best explains how the introduction of electric power affected the manufacturing economy?

Answer: Option(c)

Explanation:

Manufacturing sector mainly depends upon the external input or power to drive the system effectively. This sector uses wind source and steam power to drive the system.

But these sources delays the time for production and affects the output value. So the concept of electric power has been introduced in the manufacturing field.

The use of electric motors, generators, and transmitters greatly reduced the time of production and it increases the output value. Only drawback is that the cost of producing electricity is more compared to the other units.
