steam turbine
Fossil fuel (coal) is burnt in furnaces. The heat produced turns water into steam. The steam is fed through steam turbine generators. It is these generators that produce electricity. This electricity is fed onto the national grid.
If you mean nuclear fission, then this does not generate electricity directly. The energy released is essentially light/heat energy and this is used to heat water to produce steam. The steam is then used to drive turbines/generators to produce the electricity.
Coal is burned to produce heat The heat is used to produce steam in a boiler. The steam is used to turn a turbine and generator set. This causes electricity to run through the wires.
Natural gas is ignited and the heat is used to boild water and generate steam. Steam is then forced through impeller turbines spinning them in turn spinning Generator Coils that Produce the electricity.

Biofuel can be used in an oil-fired power plant to heat water to steam. The steam drives electrical turbines that produce electricity.
Coal can't generate electricity by itself, but through the process of combustion, it can produce heat which can be used to produce steam that can run turbines which are connected to generators that produces electricity.
As in a coal power station? Water is heated by the fire, makes steam, turns turbines- electricity.
fossil fuels contain coal, if you burn coal it produce's steam,then the steam turn's the turbine in a generator to produce electricity.That's the cost of fossil fuels ,that they can produce electricity.
Yes, that is how they are used to generate electricity.
Nuclear fission produces heat energy that produces steam The steam spins the turbines that spins electric generators and hence producing electricity.
