Does electrical energy pollute?
It depends on what fuel or power is used to generate the electricity .
What process releases the energy that is used in nuclear power plants to generate electrical energy?
It is nuclear fission
Name a nuclear process in which a huge amount of energy is released and which can also be used to generate electrical energy in power stations?
Nuclear fission is a nuclear process where the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts, releasing a significant amount of energy. This process is used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity by producing heat which then drives turbines connected to generators.
What are the use of dynamos?
To generate Electricity .
What fossil fuel is predominately used in the US to generate electricity?
Coal is still primarily used in the US to generate power (~47% of all electricity generated), however natural gas is being used increasingly to generate electricity (~20% of all electrical generation).
Name a nuclear process in which a huge amount of energy is released and which can be used to generate electrical energy in power stations?
Nuclear fission
Can crystals be used in power generation?
Piezoelectric crystals generate electrical energy when bent or squeezed, so yes, it's possible.
Which nuclear reaction is currently used to generate electrical energy?
Nuclear fission is currently used to generate electrical energy in nuclear power plants. This process involves the splitting of uranium or plutonium atoms, which releases a large amount of energy that is used to heat water and produce steam to drive turbines and generate electricity.
Can water be used to create energy?
Sure. You can harness the power of falling water to drive turbines and generate electricity. You can't, however, get power from cold fusion or burn water in your gas tank.
How is electrical energy produced at neuclear power plants?
Nuclear power plants generate electricity through a process called nuclear fission. In this process, the heat produced by splitting uranium atoms is used to generate steam, which then drives turbines to produce electrical energy. This energy is then transmitted through the power grid to homes and businesses.
Does inertial confinement involve fission?
The idea of inertial confinement is used in fusionexperiments in an attempt to generate energy from nuclear fusion. We don't see it associated with fission. In the fusion method of power generation, high power lasers force protons (hydrogen nuclei) together and add energy to the mix to initiate a fusion reaction.
What are the uses of the generators?
To generate clocks and to generate power
