Fossil fuel is burned. The heat boils water. The steam turns a turbine. The turbine turns a generator. In the United States only coal and natural gas are used to produce electricity for the grid. Gasoline and diesel generators are almost exclusively reserved for portable or backup power.
Interestingly, coal fired power plants release far more radiation (in the form of radon) than nuclear plants.
What else can I help you with?
Can chemical energy be changed into electric energy?
Yes it can.
What are three forms of energy that can be changed into electrical energy?
Three forms of energy that can be changed into electrical energy are mechanical energy (such as from turbines or generators), light energy (as in solar panels), and chemical energy (through batteries or fuel cells).
Do fossils transform chemical energy in to other types of energy?
No, fossils do not transform chemical energy into other types of energy. Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of organisms from the past, and any energy associated with them is the result of the chemical energy stored within the organic matter of the fossilized organisms.
Do cars use chemical energy?
Yes. Chemical energy, changed to heat energy, changed to mechanical energy.
How energy changed?
it can cause you to die. you will never breath againEnergy changes form; but it never destroyed or created.- first law of thermodynamic.EX. battery connected to flash light--- chemical energy to electric energy. electric energy to light energy.conclusion? Energy does change.
Is an x ray solar energy chemical energy mechanical energy electric energy or sound energy?
electric energy
Does a electric motor convert chemical energy to mechanical energy?
No, an electric motor does not convert chemical energy to mechanical energy. Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy by using electromagnetic fields to create motion.
Chemical energy from a battery is changed into electrical energy this electrical is then changed to which type of energy?
physical energy
What device uses chemical energy to give charges electric potential energy?
A battery uses chemical energy to convert it into electrical energy, which then provides charges with electric potential energy. The chemical reactions inside the battery create a flow of electrons, generating an electric potential difference that can power various devices.
What energy do electric charges make?
chemical energy
How is the sun's energy changed into electric energy?
by solar panels
What is electric energy changed into when a motor is turned on?
Mechanical energy.
