generally power plants produce ALTERNATING CURRENT,because after producing the current the are sent to substations where they are stepped up or stepped down.so a transformer is mainly used over there.for a transformer we cant supply direct current.we should supply only alternating current.so they only produce alternating current................... 4RM PRAJITH
What else can I help you with?
How many amp will a 280 watts panel generate?
A panel does not generate any current, the generating happens at the power plant. A 280 watt panel on a 120 v supply can supply up to 2.3 amps.
When does fission take place in power plant?
Fission takes place in a nuclear power plant continuously to generate heat by splitting uranium atoms in a controlled manner, producing energy. This heat is used to produce steam, which drives a turbine to generate electricity.
What do you use for electric current?
Electric current is typically carried by electrons moving through a conductor, such as a wire. It can be generated by batteries, power plants, or any other power source that can provide a voltage difference to drive the flow of electrons.
Does voltage divided by watts equal the current?
Electric power is not defined as current divided by voltage. Electric power (Watts) is equal to amps times voltage
What if your electric heater is rated 5 amps it is plugged into a 111 volt outlet how much power is generated?
OK. First, note that your heater doesn't 'generate' power. If it did, you could sell the power. Your heater consumes power. The electric company generates it, and you pay them for it. The power consumed on a household circuit is nominally (Voltage) multiplied by (Current). The voltage delivered to your house is nominally 117 volts AC, although it can vary by a bit. If the current through the heater is exactly 5 Amp, then the power is (117 x 5) = 585 watts, or 0.585 KW.
What is electric current from a generating plant called?
Electric current from a generating plant is typically referred to as electricity or power. It is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, such as wires, that can be utilized to power various devices and systems.
How do you build a model of a hydroelectric power plant?
Insert a simple electric motor with fan on it into the pipe and let the water current move fan in opposite direction, that will generate electricity!
Electric current from a generating plant is?
Electric current from a generating plant is typically alternating current (AC), which flows back and forth in a rapid and regular manner. This AC current is then transmitted through power lines to homes and businesses for use in electrical appliances and devices.
What is the source of current electricity?
Originates from the power company's (usually the local utility) grid where they generate electric power for sale and distribution.
What are internal combustion power plant?
The power plant includes an internal combustion engine and a direct current electric motor generator.
What is the source of an electrical current?
Originates from the power company's (usually the local utility) grid where they generate electric power for sale and distribution.
What generate current?
Current is generated by the flow of electric charge in a circuit. This flow can be created by sources such as batteries, generators, solar panels, or power plants. The movement of electrons through a conductor produces an electric current.
Which types of power do not use a turbine to generate electricity?
Some types of power that do not use a turbine to generate electricity include solar power, which converts sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells, and fuel cells, which produce electricity through a chemical reaction. Other examples include thermoelectric power, where temperature differences generate electric current, and piezoelectric power, where mechanical stress creates an electric charge.
How is electric current similar to water current?
Electric current and water current are similar in that they both involve the flow of a substance - electrons in the case of electric current and water molecules in the case of water current. Both currents can be controlled and directed through the use of circuits or channels. Additionally, both currents can generate power and be harnessed for various applications.
How does a modern electric train generate power?
Electric trains usually get power from overhead power cables or an electrified third rail below. Locomotives can use diesel fuel to generate electric voltage to run the engine.
What subatomic particles move to generate electricity?
Electrons are the subatomic particles that move to generate electricity. When electrons flow through a conductor, such as a wire, they create an electric current that can be harnessed to power devices.
Can fossil fuels generate electric power?
yes
