What type of liquid in a fruit produces electricity?
I think citrus acide produces electricity if I'm wrong do some research.
Does an electric heater do the opposite of a thermocouple?
In effect it does. Electricity applied to the heater produces heat. Heat applied to the thermocouple produces electricity.
What is a example of a galvanic cell?
A battery that produces electricity
What planet produces lots of electricity and is very large?
moon
How fossil fuel are used to generate electricity?
Fossil fuels are burned to spin a generator which in turn produces electricity.
Does coal generate electricity?
Coal can't generate electricity by itself, but through the process of combustion, it can produce heat which can be used to produce steam that can run turbines which are connected to generators that produces electricity.
When a wire carries an electric current it products a?
It produces a magnetic field. Vice versa, when you run a magnet past a wire you generate an electric current. Electricity and magnetism are related. If you have electricity you can generate magnetism, if you have a magnet you can produce electricity.
Why is coal the prefered choice for electricity?
It's not !... Burning coal to generate electricity produces HUGE amounts of carbon dioxide - which affects the weather.
Nuclear reactors should not be used to generate electricity?
False. Nuclear power is used to generate about 25% of the electricity in the United States, and about 75% of the electricity in France. Nuclear power is far safer than coal-fired power plants, and produces no harmful emissions, if you care about such things.
Is it cheap to generate hydroelectric power?
Constant maintenance, Initial costs and repair work for the structure. The electricity it produces is cheap though.
How does landfills help the environment?
Recycling can reduce the number of landfills by not having as much glass/ plastic produces in them.
To generate electricity nuclear power plants produce?
Heat by fission in a nuclear reactor, that is used to generate steam which drives a steam turbine connected to a generator which produces electricity. There are 435 nuclear power reactors in operation operating in 31 countries as of April, 2014.
What has to happen to nuclear before it cam be used to generate electricity?
The nuclear reaction produces heat The heat is used to make steam The steam makes the turbines spin The turbines make electricity
Does garbage produce green house gases?
Yes, bio-degrading garbage produces methane, a dangerous greenhouse gas. Many landfills around the world are trying to capture this methane and use it to generate electricity. Not many are doing it successfully. Pig farms are trying to do the same with their large amounts of animal waste.
What is the use of fission?
Nuclear fission generally produces a lot of energy. In a nuclear power plant, this energy is used to create steam to turn a turbine and generate electricity.
Which layer produce and comnducts electricity due to its high iron content and the earth spinning?
The Earth's outer core produces electricity caused by abundance of iron. The Earth rotates and as it does that the iron generates high electric currents that then produce electricity. That also can generate magnetic fields.
