What are the Inputs of a power station?

Inputs of a power station is the air inside it produced. :) But seriously: The input to a power station is the source of energy use to make electricity. This can be water, oil, gas, coal, nuclear. In less conventional terms, wind turbines and tidal schemes are 'power stations'.


What are the advances of burning fossil fuels over nuclear fuels?

Nuclear fuels are extremely dangerous and the station could explode.


How are magnets used to generate elecricty in a power station?

Yes, you can. You may recall that by running electricity through a coiled wire (solenoid) with an iron bar in the center, we can create an electromagnet. If we reverse this process and put a strong magnet through a solenoid, we can generate electricity. All you will have to do is move the magnet up and down in order to generate electricity.


Is electricity renewable or non renewable?

Electricity is a non-renewable resource. Once you have used it, it won't come back. You have to generate more.You can generate electricity in any number of ways. You can use solar cells, wind power, water falling through turbines, you can burn coal, oil, natural gas, etc. You can generate electricity by running on treadmills or using stationary bikes. It's all electricity, but some of the methods use renewable sources and others do not.A: If electricity is produced by solar, wind, tides, waves, biomass, or geothermal energy then it is a renewable resource. Otherwise it is not.A: Electricity is largely produced by power stations burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas; Nuclear fission can also be used to produce electricity. All these are not renewable - there is a finite amount of fuel in the world and when it is used up, that's it.Hydro, wind, tidal, geothermal, biomass, and solar power are all regarded as renewable forms of energy because they aren't finite. We use their energy, and it still keeps coming.

Where does a generating station get its power?

There are several ways to generate electricity. Solar, wind, coal, nuclear, diesel etc.


What is the difference between electricity being made in a fossil fuel power station to being made in a nuclear power station?

The difference is only the material that is being used to generate electricity.


When and where did the first nuclear reactor generate electricity?

Electricity was generated for the first time by a nuclear reactor on December 20, 1951, at the EBR-I experimental station near Arco, Idaho, which initially produced about 100 kW.


How does a gas-powered station work?

A gas fired power station burns gas to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. (That should be a record number of verbs used in one sentence ;-) A coal fired power station burns coal to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A nuclear power station uses the heat of nuclear reactions to heat water ... A hydro power station uses falling water to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity.

What is the difference between a nuclear power station and coal fired power station?

The difference is in the name; nuclear power plants produce electricity via a nuclear reaction producing head to turn a turbine, whereas coal fired power plants burn coal to produce the same efffect.


What is the name of nuclear reaction that is in a power station?

Nuclear fission. The combining of Plutonium and Uranium atoms releases energy, which is used to heat water. The steam produced turns turbines which generate electricity.


Does sound energy generate electricity in a power station?

No


How are nuclear fuels in power stations to generate electricity?

Think of a nuclear power station as a slowed down nuclear bomb. The heat energy released in the fission process is used to turn water into steam to drive electric turbine generators.


What produces cheaper electricity- a coal burning station or a nuclear power station?

Is a nuclear power station an example of chemical energy?

No. Nuclear energy is a type of energy that is quite different from chemical energy.
