How much fossil fuel is needed to make 12Watts of electricity?
AngelSahra
Can't be answered. 12 Watts is a measure of power, not energy - so you have to say how long you want it for.
12 watts for 10 seconds would be a quite different answer than 12 watts for one hour.

Describe how fossil fuel is used to generate electricity?
Fossil fuel is ignited, the heat boils water, the expansion of the water as steam drives a turbine, the turbine drives an electric generator.
How is energy created in fossil fuel power plants?
It is changed into electricity by a machine.It is used to heat water which, when changed into steam, powers the turbines, these then turn the generators to produce electricity
What happens to the lost energy when fossil fuel is used to generate electricity?
Energy is never lost, it is transformed into different types or transferred into different systems. Some of this is useful energy, for example thermal energy used to power a turbine or generator. Some of this thermal energy is not useful, and instead just heats up the fuel container or components of the generator. This energy has still come from the fossil fuel being burned, but it has not been transferred into the system for generating electricity.
What do nuclear energy and fossil fuel have in common?
They are hydrocarbons which burn with oxygen

Is electricity fossil fuel?
Electricity itself is not a fossil fuel but, can be generated by steam turbines and generators where the steam has been generated by heating water in fossil fuel boilers.
Could a fossil fuel produce electricity?
Sure, much of the world's electricity is obtained by burning fossil fuels.
How fossil fuel are used to generate electricity?
Fossil fuels are burned to spin a generator which in turn produces electricity.
Why are fossil fuel important for us?
because it is the only fuel that gives electricity
Why do you use fossil fuels today?

Is wind a fossil energy?
Sort of.Wind turbines generate electricity,wich is a fossil fuel.
Given gasoline and water and electricity and nuclear fuel which is a fossil fuel?
Gasoline is because it is a product of oil, which is a fossil fuel. None of the others would qualify.
