What else can I help you with?
Is electric made from crude oil?
Not necessarily. We use fuels such as oil to power some generators which create electricity for all sorts of purposes. Hybrid cars use a gas and electric engine. At coasting speeds and when braking the cars charge the electric battery, when accelerating, they use the electricity.
How do fossil fuels produce electricity?
They usually run engines that turn generators
Could fossil fuels create electricity?
Yes, fossil fuels can and do create electricity. Most electricity round the world today is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Identify two sources of energy that generators use to create electricity?
Generators can use a variety of energy sources to create electricity, including fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil. They can also generate electricity by harnessing renewable energy sources like wind, sunlight, or water through technologies such as wind turbines, solar panels, and hydroelectric dams.
What two fuels are burned at power stations to create electricity?
Most power stations use steam to drive turbines connected to generators. Most fuels can be burnt, to provide the heat to generate steam. Choose two out of these:- 1. Oil 2. Gas 3. Coal 4. Peat 5. Bio mass (shredded wood)
What do ALL power plants use to create electricity?
Most power plants use turbines connected to generators to create electricity. The turbines are typically powered by various sources such as steam, water, wind, or fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, or oil. The generators then convert the mechanical energy from the turbines into electrical energy.
How does how fossil fuels produce electricity or fuel?
Fossil fuels produce electricity when they are burned to make steam or smoke which turns generators to make electricity. But we must be careful that we are not burning too much fossil fuels so that we will run out one day. :)
What sort of pollution does creating electric create?
it creates co2 emmisions released into the air by the typical form of electric creating, by burning fossil fuels. this mainly takes place in a power station controlled by generators or fire.
What fuels fuel cell cars?
Fuel cells in vehicles create electricity to power an electric motor, generally using oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen.
How do we generate electricity by burning fuels?
Water is boiled to create steam in a turbine. The turbine is made of magnets that rotate around coils of wire which induce an electric current. Another way is hydro-electric power such as a dam. As the water pours over the dam it spins turbines that create the electricity as described above.
Why diesel generators are not a clean source of electricity?
because the diesel isn't clean because it is made from fossil fuels and fossil fuels are not clean therefore diesel isn't clean
What are the steps taken to produce electricity using fossil fuels?
Fossil fuel (coal) is burnt in furnaces. The heat produced turns water into steam. The steam is fed through steam turbine generators. It is these generators that produce electricity. This electricity is fed onto the national grid.
