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 is the purpose of generating electricity?
Electrical generators usually are used to generate electricity.
How are magnets used in generators?
There are two types of generators. First is Alternative current generator and second is Direct current generator. In both types of generators horseshoe-type magnets are used. This magnet is used so that when the shaft is rotated in anticlockwise direction the direction of force is upwards and the magnetic field lines are going from north to south or left to right. By using flemings right hand law the current wil flow from west to east. This magnet makes the current to flow in a circuit consistently to produce electricity.
Application of wind energy?
Windmills are used to drive generators and generate electricity.
How does the nuclear power plant produce energy?
Similar to other thermal powerplants like coal, oil and gas, nuclear reaction creates heat which is used to turn water into steam. This turns the turbines attached to the generators which produce electricity.
Can natural gas be used to generate electricity?
As a fuel it is used to run the generators which produce the electricity.
How can natural gas be used to generate electricity?
As a fuel it is used to run the generators which produce the electricity.
Are electromagnets used in dams?
yes in the generators to produce 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.
How can electricity be produced from oil?
electricity is produced by generators the oil is used to run the generators.
Why does the splitting generate electricity?
If you mean nuclear fission, then this does not generate electricity directly. The energy released is essentially light/heat energy and this is used to heat water to produce steam. The steam is then used to drive turbines/generators to produce the electricity.
What are turbines used for in an electric power plant?
They are spun by steam or by falling water, and turn the generators that produce electricity.
Is a diesel engine in a dam?
If you mean water electric plant as a dam, turbine generators are used there to produce electricity.
What are three examples where geothermal energy is used?
the hot water and steam are used to turn turbines which drive generators to produce electricity
What are some examples of tidal energy being used?
tidal energy is used to turn turbines which drive generators to produce electricity
What are power sources?
the different types of fuels that can be used to produce electricity
-What is a Power Source?
the different types of fuels that can be used to produce electricity
