Just about one-half, due to losses of Energy.
When coal is burnt, the energy transformation that occurs is from chemical energy stored in the coal to thermal energy in the form of heat, which can be used to generate electricity or heat for various applications.
When coal is burnt, the energy lost in the form of heat and pollutants such as carbon dioxide and ash is considered as not useful energy. This includes waste heat that is not converted into useful work or electricity.
The energy source which Is dug out of the ground is called coal and is can be burnt to make electricity
Coal produces energy through combustion where heat is generated by burning coal in a furnace. The heat produced converts water into steam which drives a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity. Coal is a fossil fuel that releases stored energy when burned, making it a primary source for electricity generation in many countries.
Fuel sources such as wood, coal, oil, and gas are burnt to release energy. The burning process generates heat that can be converted into other forms of energy, such as electricity or mechanical energy.
Similar to coal, its burnt. But its better because you're burning renewable sources. :D
Chemical energy is transferred to electrical energy! :) :p
Coal is burned in a furnace to heat water and produce steam. The steam turns a turbine connected to a generator, which converts the kinetic energy into electricity. The electricity then flows through power lines to homes and businesses.
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are burnt in vehicles and electricity power plants. This releases the energy.
Coal is primarily used for electricity generation, accounting for a significant portion of global energy production. It is also used in industrial processes such as steel production and cement manufacturing. Additionally, coal is used in residential and commercial heating and as a feedstock for certain chemical processes.
One of the energy releases that isn't useful when coal is burned is thermal energy in the form of heat that is lost to the surrounding environment, rather than being converted into useful work or electricity.
To make electricity, the most common way is to burn something that heats water that creates steam that runs a fan/turbine. Coal fired electricity is when the thing that is burnt is coal.
