A coal-powered power station generates electricity by burning coal to produce steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator. As the turbine spins, it rotates the generator's rotor within a magnetic field, inducing an alternating current (AC) due to electromagnetic induction. The generator's design allows for the production of AC by converting the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy, which can then be transmitted through power lines to homes and businesses.
What else can I help you with?
How is the power-station the same as a wind powered turbine?
They both produce electricity
What does a transmission system at a radio station use to convert a direct current into a high frequency alternating current?
a high power, often class C amplifier.
Do geothermal power stations make pollution?
No. Construction equipment used to build the station will burn fossil fuels and produce some pollution. When the station is complete it will produce pollution free electricity. The station will require some electric power from the grid to operate, and some of that electricity may be produced by coal powered plants which do produce pollution, but the geothermal power station will not produce pollution.
How is electricity made in power plants?
The large power plants like power stations have turbo-generators (generators driven by turbines) within them. Steam is made by various means depending on the type of power station (nuclear, coal, oil, gas) and this under pressure drives the turbines. They in turn drive the generators (these are normally known as alternators in power stations because they produce alternating current). Smaller power plants such as a portable one that you can carry around are normally powered by a petrol engine, but this engine drives a generator producing either alternating or direct current depending on type.
Why does alternating current alternate its direction?
The generators at the power station are built to deliver voltage/current with alternating characteristics, and this is preserved all the way from the generating station to your house. It's completely intentional, because AC is much easier to handle, distribute, and make the conversions between long-distance and short-distance transmission that need to happen along the way.
A transmission system at a radio station uses a an to convert a direct current into a high frequency alternating current?
so i see your cheating on pennfoster so i see your cheating on pennfoster
Why do transmission lines use alternating current?
Transmission lines use alternating current in order to support stepping-up and stepping-down of the voltage with transformers. Voltage is stepped-up at the power station, sent over the transmission lines, and stepped-down at the receiver. (This is a simplified explanation.) By stepping-up, you reduce the current carrying requirement of the lines, and they can thus be smaller.You could not do this with direct current as transformers only work for alternating current.
What kind of station is Ferrybridge power station?
Ferrybridge is a coal powered power station.
Can you plug a CB radio into a standard wall outlet?
No, CB radios are typically powered by a direct current (DC) power source, such as the vehicle's battery or a separate power supply designed for the radio's voltage requirements. Plugging a CB radio into a standard wall outlet, which provides alternating current (AC) power, would likely damage the radio and pose safety risks.
Why houses prefarably use alternating current instead of direct current?
Alternating current is used because it is more efficient to distribute over long distances. With DC, a power station would have to be built about every ten miles. With AC, this is several hundred to a thousand miles. Houses have AC because it would be impractical to convert the AC to DC. If this was done, then there would be a heat producing convertor that would add in some power loss because of the conversion.
What electricity is produced at a generating?
Electricity produced at a generating station is typically alternating current (AC) electricity. This type of electricity is used for transmitting power over long distances and is the form of electricity supplied to homes and businesses.
When was Swift Current railway station created?
Swift Current railway station was created in 1907.
