Does fossil fuel generate electricity?

The heat from coal turns water into steam. It is the steam that turns generator turbine blades to create electricity.


Why does the splitting generate electricity?

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.


How is electricity produced using nuclear reactors?

water is heated up by nuclear fission and turned into steam, that steam then turns massive turbines which generate electricity.


How does geothermal energy is used to generate electricity from steam?

The heat from the earth is used to heat water. The water is used to turn a turbine - which generates electricity.


What type of energy is atomic energy?

Heat. The heat boils water to create steam to drive steam turbines to generate electricity.


Can wood be burned to generate electricity?

Yes. A steam engine can be used to generate electricity. Obviously, you can boil water with wood. Although, The Navy prefers to use Nuclear Power.


How electricity is produced in a power plant?

In a nuclear power plant, the heat energy released from fission is used to change water into steam. the steam then turns the blades of a turbine to generate electricity.


What are thermonuclear plants?

Thermonuclear plants are power stations. They use nuclear fission reactions to generate heat. This boils water to generate steam, which turns the turbines to generate electricity.


State why you need coal to generate electricity?

Electricity is made by converting some form of energy into electricity. Coal is used to heat water in a boiler to make steam. The steam pressure rotates a turbine to power a generator.


How can nuclear power be used to generate electricity?

Nuclear energy is produced by a controlled nuclear chain reaction and creates heat—which is used to boil water, produce steam, and drive a steam turbine. The turbine can be used for mechanical work and also to generate electricity.


What is steam used for?

Steam is often used for power generation. Apply heat to water, steam (pressure) then used to turn a turnbine and generate electricity. Imagine if you boiled water in an encloded pot (air-tight lid). The pressure will build and you can use this pressure to generate power.


What are the uses of boiler?

To generate steam to drive turbines to generate electricity, Steam used for air conditioning systems, heating ,hot water ,process applications, driving steam engines , boilers to run ships using super heated steam, auto clave's, portable heat /hot water for buildings. smaller boilers to generate power to run cars
