Who in 1676 discovered that animals generate electricity?

All references to the discovery in 1676 that animals generate electricity, simply mention scientists and not specific names. A few famous scientists who were working in that year on groundbreaking experiments were Isaac Newton and Antony von Leeuwenhoek.


Which of the choices listed is a source of electricity production?

Hydroelectric power plants, solar panels, and wind turbines are all sources of electricity production. They harness renewable energy sources such as water, sunlight, and wind to generate electricity.


Is nuclear fission currently used to produce electricity?

Yes, nuclear fission is currently used to produce electricity in nuclear power plants around the world. This process involves splitting atoms to release energy, which heats water to produce steam, driving turbines that generate electricity.


When a person experiences an electric shock the electrons making the shock come from where?

When a person experiences an electric shock, the electrons making up the shock come from the source of electricity that the person came into contact with. This could be a faulty wire, appliance, power outlet, or any other conductive material that allows the flow of electricity to pass through our body.


How do you generate electricity?

There are many ways to get electricity. Batteries are one form, outlets another. But if you want to generate your own electricity, you can use pedal or hand-powered generators, a wind turbine, or a solar panel. Most cars create electricity to power the spark plugs and run the accessories. All forms of consumer electricity are generated by moving spinning magnets past coils of copper wire in a device called an alternator. This can be driven by a steam turbine, a wind turbine, hydroelectric turbine or tidal barrage. (Solar photovoltaic cells generate DC current which must be converted to AC for input to the power grid.)

Which fossil fuel is used to generate electricity?

All fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are used 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).


Why do wind turbines not generate electricity all the time?

Wind turbines do not generate electricity all the time because wind is not constant. Variations in wind speed and direction affect the ability of the turbine blades to spin and generate electricity. When wind speeds are too low or too high, wind turbines may not be able to produce electricity efficiently.


How much coal is required to generate 1 MW electricity?

an all nighter


The wind turbine cannot generate electricity all the time give reason for that?

Wind turbines require wind to generate electricity. If the wind is not blowing or is too weak, the turbine will not be able to generate electricity. Wind speed and consistency play a crucial role in the operation of wind turbines.


What does it mean when you shock people by touching all the time?

Frequent electric shocks when touching objects or people could be due to a build-up of static electricity in your body that discharges upon contact. This is common in dry conditions or when wearing certain fabrics that generate static electricity. Grounding exercises or using a humidifier can help reduce static electricity buildup.


How coal is used to make electricity?

Coal is used to generate almost half of all electricity produced in the United States. Besides electric utility companies, industries and businesses with their own power plants use coal to generate electricity. Power plants burn coal to make steam. The steam turns turbines which generate electricity.


Do wind turbines generate electricity all the time?

Only while the blades are rotating.


Can lime be used to generate electricity?

Yes, it also can be used as Petrol. Merry Christmas to you all.


Which foods can create electricity?

All of them. By definition food is an energetic substance, and all such matter may be used to generate current.


How does the use of nonrenewable resources compare to the use of renewable resources?

There is only one way they are similar, namely, they are both used, usually, to generate electricity. But they are very different in many many ways.
