What is coal sed for?
Coal is used for burning to make heat. At home in a fire, at a power station to generate electricity.
Which type of power station uses chemical energy to generate electricity coal fired or nuclear?
Coal fired
Where does a generating station get its power?
There are several ways to generate electricity. Solar, wind, coal, nuclear, diesel etc.
Will the power station for coal generate a lot of power?
yes
What produces cheaper electricity- a coal burning station or a nuclear power station?
coal
How does gas fired power station works?
A gas fired power station burns gas to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. (That should be a record number of verbs used in one sentence ;-) A coal fired power station burns coal to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A nuclear power station uses the heat of nuclear reactions to heat water ... A hydro power station uses falling water to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity.
Does biomass use heat to generate electricity?
Yes, you burn biomass to generate electricity, the same as a fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power station, except without causing global warming.
How do coal power stations and wind farms generate electricity?
Coal power stations burn coal to heat water to produce steam, which is then used to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. The burning coal releases carbon dioxide.Wind farms have blades which turn in the wind to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. There are no harmful carbon dioxide emissions.
What is an advatage of using coal power over solar power to generate electricity?
coal power can be generated at night
How does a gas-powered station work?

How coal is used to make electricity?
Coal is used to generate almost half of all electricity produced in the United States. Besides electric utility companies, industries and businesses with their own power plants use coal to generate electricity. Power plants burn coal to make steam. The steam turns turbines which generate electricity.
How much electricity does a coal power station supply?
it depends on how big the power station is
