# Burn the oil, use the heat to boil water. # Use the steam from the boiling water to spin a steam turbine. # Use the steam turbine to turn an electric generator. This is the basic process a conventional power station uses to generate electricity.

What is the major energy source for these processes coal coke petroleum oil or electricity?

Petroleum oil is the major energy source for these processes as it is commonly used for fueling vehicles, generating electricity, and producing various products like plastics and chemicals. Coal and coke are also used for energy generation and in the steel industry, while electricity is a common energy source for powering machinery and equipment.


How is oil used to form electricity?

Oil is burned in a furnace as fuel to produce heat. Running through the furnace is a series of pipes containing water. The water turns to steam with the heat - which is then used to turn turbines. The turbines generate the electricity.

How does coal enables electricity generation to take place?

Coal, like natural gas and oil is burned to boil water into steam. The steam pressure is used to turn giant generators which create the electricity.


How is oil used to produce electricity?

When burned, oil (or most other types of fuel) release heat energy. This heat energy can be used to boil water. The now water vapor can be used to turn a generator which can turn kinetic energy (from the water vapor moving the fan blades) to electrical energy by using a coiled wire and a magnetic field.


Will oil conduct electricity?

No, not pure oil.


What were our two main energy sources in 1950?

In 1950, the two main energy sources were coal and oil. Coal was primarily used for electricity generation and industrial processes, while oil was mainly used for transportation and heating.


Can burning fossil fuels generate electricity?

Yes, well sort of. Burning fossil fuels is the first step. These fuels heat water and turn it into steam. The steam will drive the turbines. In some cases, turbines are driven by the products of combustion of natural gas instead of steam. The rotating turbines create electricity. See related link.Fossil fuels are things like coal, natural gas, and oil. In most countries, they are used to generate much of the electricity.
