Is thermal energy can be used as electricity?
Yes, it is can be used as electricity by lighting etc.
How can each type of energy source be converted into energy?
An incomplete list of ways to convert one type of energy into another: chemical can be burned to make thermal thermal can be used to heat steam to make pressure to drive engines / turbines / generators for motion or electricity electricity can be made into thermal (resistors), run light-bulbs (light is energy), it can also drive chemical reactions (electrolysis) to make chemical energy light can be made into electricity (solar cell), used as thermal energy, used in chemical reactions (photo-chemical processes, like photosynthesis) nuclear energy can be used to make thermal wind to move sailing ships (kinetic energy) or turbines (electricity). Feel free to add more to the list.
Can uranium be used instead of electricity?
Uranium is used in nuclear power reactors to produce electricity or thermal energy.
What kind of energy is geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is thermal energy that is made and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy determines the temperature of things. Geothermal energy can be used for electricity.
In what ways have humans made thermal energy work for them?
Thermal energy has served many uses to humans. Thermal energy has been used to cook food, heat homes, and generate electricity.
Is chemical energy used with thermal energy?
Chemical energy is often used to release thermal energy; that is the main reason why people make fires.
Is solar thermal energy widely used?
It's not likely. Only 3% of Americans use sun, wind, water, and thermal energy as sources of electricity.
Is Geo Thermal a source of energy for generating electricity?
Yes. It can - and sometimes is - used to generate electricity. For more information, check the Wikipedia article on "Geothermal energy".
What is the energy transformation to produce electricity using geothermal?
Geothermal energy plants use the natural heat (which is thermal energy) of the earth. Water turned into steam is used to turn steam turbines. This is a conversion of the thermal energy into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy of the turbine is coupled to a generator, and is converted there into electricity, which is electromagnetic energy.
What do nuclear energy and fossil fuel have in common?
They are hydrocarbons which burn with oxygen
What kind of electricity supply is used for electrolysis?
It must be direct current for electrolysis.
Do you think that thermal energy stored in lithium fluoride be used to generate all of the electricity used on earth at night?
Yes
