What type of electric current does a power plant generate for use in your home?

generally power plants produce ALTERNATING CURRENT,because after producing the current the are sent to substations where they are stepped up or stepped down.so a transformer is mainly used over there.for a transformer we cant supply direct current.we should supply only alternating current.so they only produce alternating current................... 4RM PRAJITH

How many amp will a 280 watts panel generate?
A panel does not generate any current, the generating happens at the power plant. A 280 watt panel on a 120 v supply can supply up to 2.3 amps.
Why steel becomes a permanent magnet after electric current is passed through it?
Electric current is magnetic so when electric current pass through steel , steel will have the electric power and may be magnetic for awhile
What is a hydro - electric power station?
It's a pwr plant generating pwr from water force:)
How does tidal electric power plant work?
its a waste of money and it does not work
What if your electric heater is rated 5 amps it is plugged into a 111 volt outlet how much power is generated?
OK. First, note that your heater doesn't 'generate' power. If it did, you could sell the power. Your heater consumes power. The electric company generates it, and you pay them for it. The power consumed on a household circuit is nominally (Voltage) multiplied by (Current). The voltage delivered to your house is nominally 117 volts AC, although it can vary by a bit. If the current through the heater is exactly 5 Amp, then the power is (117 x 5) = 585 watts, or 0.585 KW.
How do you build a model of a hydroelectric power plant?
Insert a simple electric motor with fan on it into the pipe and let the water current move fan in opposite direction, that will generate electricity!
Electric current from a generating plant is?
Electric current from a generating plant is a alternating current transmitted at high voltages, but usually used at low voltages.
What is the source of current electricity?
Originates from the power company's (usually the local utility) grid where they generate electric power for sale and distribution.
What are internal combustion power plant?
The power plant includes an internal combustion engine and a direct current electric motor generator.
What is the source of an electrical current?

How does a modern electric train generate power?
Electric trains usually get power from overhead power cables or an electrified third rail below. Locomotives can use diesel fuel to generate electric voltage to run the engine.
Can fossil fuels generate electric power?
yes
How is the earths electric field useful?
to generate power i guess
What does electric current?

What does electric current do?
transmitission of current produce an electric field.and it produce power
What is a diesel-electric power plant?
A diesel electric power plant is an engine that powers electric motors. The motors actually operate the machinery such as a locomotive.
What is a draw back for hydroelectric energy?
Hydroelectric power plants generate very little electric current for the cost of building, using, and maintaining the equipment used to produce it.
