How many rupees is electricity per unit?
Cost per unit of electricity depends the type of generation used. ie:- thermal hydel, nuclear etc. hydel electricity is cheaper and now a days it cost less than Rs.10 per unit in India. whereas thermal electricity cost less than Rs. 20 per unit
What is the difference between MCB and MCCB?
MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker)-rated current not more than 100 A. Trip characteristics normally not adjustable. Thermal or thermal-magnetic operation. Breakers illustrated above are in this category.MCCB (Molded Case Circuit Breaker)-rated current up to 2500 A. Thermal or thermal-magnetic operation. Trip current may be adjustable in larger ratings.

Is polythene a thermal conductor?
No, polythene is a plastic and that cannot conduct electricity.
What is conventional thermal electricity?
I assume you mean electricity produced by burning coal, natural gas, or oil. These are the traditional fossil fuels used to produce heat, steam, and hence electric power.
Why is hydroelectricity used more than thermal electricity?
The cost of production of electricity from a thermal power plant is more than that of the hydroelectricity so the later is more used if both the source are available.
What is the difference between conductor and heat?
heat is thermal energy. A conductor allows heat or electricity to pass through it.
What is the difference between tempurture and thermal energy?

What is the meaning of thermal electricity?
thermal means coal.with coal it produces electricity. this electricity is thermal electricity.
What are four of examples of renewable resources?
Hydroelectricity (generated from water), geothermal electricity (generated from the landmass), solar thermal power (generated from the sun) and wind power. (generated from wind)
What is the difference between thermal and radioactive radiation?
There is no difference
Is thermal energy the same geothermal energy?
Not exactly. Thermal means heat, which can be captured from many places. We can generate electricity from ocean thermal plants, for example, using the difference in temperature between surface and deep water. Geothermal energy is another kind of thermal, from deep under the ground, where we use the heat to turn water into steam and power an electricity turbine.

What is the difference between thermal conductors and thermal insulators?
Conductors carry thermal energy through, but insulators prevent the movement of heat energy. The usual reason is the way the electrons in these elements and compounds are organized, because electrons are the energy carrier, either for heat or electricity.
What are the main sources of power used in Pakistan?
the main sources of power used in pakistan are petroleum oilfields oil refineries natural gas electricity hydroelectricity thermal power nuclear power coal
Is there a difference between heat energy and thermal energy?
No, the same
What is the difference between thermal coal and steam coal?
These are same
