Fossil fuels produce electricity when they are burned to make steam or smoke which turns generators to make electricity. But we must be careful that we are not burning too much fossil fuels so that we will run out one day. :)

What are the steps taken to produce electricity using fossil fuels?

Fossil fuel (coal) is burnt in furnaces. The heat produced turns water into steam. The steam is fed through steam turbine generators. It is these generators that produce electricity. This electricity is fed onto the national grid.

Why is fossil fuel burned in a power station?

Fossil fuels are burned in power stations because they are a concentrated source of energy that can be easily converted into electricity. The combustion of fossil fuels releases heat energy, which is used to boil water and produce steam that drives turbines connected to generators, generating electricity.
