Do power stations use heat to generate electricity?
Yes most power stations do use heat to generate electricity. Heat energy of the fuel (e.g. burning coal, burning oil, nuclear fission) is utilized to heat water present in the boiler. This heating generates steam, which is then utilized to run the turbine. However some power stations get the energy to generate electricity without using heat (e.g. hydroelectric dams, wind power, sea wave power, solar cell generation systems).
What is an example of a step-up transformer?
Power stations use step-up transformers to transmit power at a high voltage instead of a high current. This reduces the power lost in the transmission lines.
What is power transmission?
