What Specific Topic Should I Choose for My 8-Page Research Paper on Electricity?

[kElect]

Hey guys,

I have this 8 page research paper coming up. I decided to write about what electricity is, how it is created, and how does it power tools. My professor said it was too general so could you guys give me a specific topic related to electricity? Something do-able in 8 pages. Not too specific where I could explain it on 1 page, and not too complicated where it would take many pages to explain.

Thanks.

You could write about the timely topic of Distributed Energy Generation:

If you have space left, you could relate it to the emerging "Smart Grid".
