What is sources of electricity?

Answer 1

It is a source from where electricity comes.

The main source is sun... or it is not- check in Google. But you might want to resd this paragraph:

Sources of electricity are areas of high electric potential. This means that the region/area has a net negative charge i.e. high number of free electrons. Electricity is created when these areas of high potential discharge their electrons into neighboring areas of lower potential because it is by definition the flow of electrons from high to low potentials. Most man-made electricity is created using some form of generator. Generators are devices that convert mechanical energy into electrical. Typically this is done by rotating high powered magnets inside tightly coiled copper wiring. The magnet essentially tears electrons off the copper atoms creating high negative potential within the wire. The resulting flow of electrons out of the generator through wiring to areas of less potential is electricity. In nature we see electricity when high negative potential builds within storm clouds because friction between water droplets tears electrons free. The negatively charged clouds discharge into the ground below in the form of lightening.

Answer 2

Generally! when the water is stored in dam the energy store in dam in the form of potential energy and when water is fall potential energy converts in to kinetic energy which rotates the terbines and which generates electricity

Answer 3

Sources of electricity include coal, natural gas, nuclear power, hydroelectric power, wind power, solar power, and geothermal power. These sources are used to generate electricity through various methods such as combustion, steam turbines, and photovoltaic cells.

Answer 4

Most energy sources that are used to electricity are first generating heat. The heat is then used to power a turbine which produces electricity.

Answer 5

If it is the source of electricity, then it is used in the generation of that same electricity.

Answer 6

thermal power plant,hydel power plants now these days nuclear power plants too are source of electric energy and moreover solar energy is too used in creating electrical energy

Answer 7

tidal energy, water such as flowing rivers, wind turning turbines, chemical burning coal or oil to create heat to turn water to steam to run electrical generators.

Answer 8

-sun,fuels,minerals,and magnets
