The oil is burnt in a furnace and the heat produced is used to boil water producing high pressure steam. A turbine is rotated by the steam and the rotating turbine turns coiled wires inside powerful magnets. From the wire's point of view, they are in a rotating magnetic field and if you place wire inside a rotating magnetic field, then electricity will be generated within the wire. So, electricity is produced within the coils of wire.

How do you convert electricity?
The answer will depend on what you want to convert it to!
How is domestic heating oil converted to electricity?
Heating oil is typically not converted to electricity. It is burned in the furnace to create heat. Heating oil is less commonly used as an industrial fuel or for power generation. Oil fueled Turbines can be used to convert the heat energy of combustion into mechanical energy, which then operate an electrical generator.
What device is used to convert solar energy to electricity?
solar cells are used to convert solar energy to electricity.
What are the advantages of generating electricity by wind turbines compared with generating it at an oil-fired power station?
wind turbines have blades like the propellors on the first aeroplanes wind turbines with blades convert 20-30% of wind energy into electricity but this new turbine can convert 70%.
Why is it many electrical power stations use oil?
Oil is not too expensive, especially when you can increase the price of electricity to cover it. Oil is easily transported, and it is also simple to convert a coal burning power station into an oil burning power station.
Is it possible to convert electricity into petrol?
no

How do you convert kwh to CO2 tons?
The amount of CO2 generated from electricity (kWh) is dependant upon the way the electricity is generated. Burning a barrel of oil to produce electricity yields far more CO2 than generating the same amount of electricity from wind or water. One should contact their electricity provider to get a break-down of how the electricity is generated.
Can directly convert sunlight into electricity?
If you have solar panels installed correctly to your home/business/land then you can convert sunlunight into energy/electricity.
How can electricity be produced from oil?
electricity is produced by generators the oil is used to run the generators.
Does electricity come from oil?
You can burn oil and use the heat to power a generator and you get electricity.
What do Solar cells convert?
Solar cells convert light directly into electricity
