Discounting solar and wind generation. It depends on how you are generating electricity. For example, in your car, you are generating electricity as the engine turns which also turns a generator or alternator to recharge your battery. In a car with a water cooled engine, water cools the engine so it doesn't overheat. In some power generation water is heated to produce steam which in turn might turn a turbine to generate electricity. In other cases a hydroelectric system might use falling water to turn a turbine. In a nuclear power plant water can be used to cool the heat generated by the nuclear fission process.

Does salt water need a battery to conduct electricity?
no it dosent because the salt water cuts off the electricity
How does wind make electricity?
Turbines actually make the electricity wind, water, and other recources do the work of turning the generators to produce the electricity.
Why do acids conduct electricity when mixed with distilled water?
When you add an acid to water you make ions, and ions conduct electricity. For instance, if you add hydrochloric acid, HCl to water, you make H+ and Cl- ions in water. Water with ions in it, also called an electrolyte, will conduct electricity. The ions are able to carry charge and they are free to move in the solution.If you add a base to water, the same effect works just as well. All you need to conduct electricity in water is free ions in solution. Adding table salt to water will also work.
How do you make oxygen in alchemy classic?
Water and Electricity
Forms of enery that can make electricity?
some forms of energy that can make electricity are but not limited to Water, Wind and Solar power ...
Water and what make electricity?
Water at a height, pipework and a hydroelectric generator make electricity.
How do fruits make electricity?
Fruits generate electricity through a process called oxidation-reduction reactions. These reactions involve the flow of electrons from the fruit's electrolytes, such as citric acid or potassium ions, to metal electrodes. The movement of electrons creates an electrical current that can be harnessed for various applications.
Does salt water make electricity?
no
Why water conducts good electricity?
Water is a poor conductor of electricity. However, the presence of ions in water make the solution a good conductor of electricity.
Do halogen bulbs need electricity to make them work?
All types of electrical devices need electricity to make them operate.
Does salt water need a battery to conduct electricity?
no it dosent because the salt water cuts off the electricity
How does wind make electricity?
Turbines actually make the electricity wind, water, and other recources do the work of turning the generators to produce the electricity.
State why you need coal to generate electricity?
Electricity is made by converting some form of energy into electricity. Coal is used to heat water in a boiler to make steam. The steam pressure rotates a turbine to power a generator.

Do you need water to make electricity?
No, but virtually every large scale power plant uses water in an industrial fashion. But the little generator I use when camping does not have or use any water.
How does salt and water mixed together make electricity?
Mixing salt and water does not make electricity. However, when the salt (NaCl)ionizes in the water meaning the Na+ ions and the Cl+ separates in the water, it creates an electrolyte. The term electrolyte means that the solution of salt and water can conduct electricity.
Can water make electricity?
Yes, if you have a watermill too
