Electric power is created by turning a generator at speeds fast enough to produce energy. Nuclear and Coal powered plants use heat to create steam to force the turning of a generator. Water power uses a difference in height from input to output to produce the desired turning of the generators.

Which type of power station uses chemical energy to generate electricity coal fired or nuclear?

A coal-fired power station uses chemical energy from burning coal to generate electricity. A nuclear power station uses nuclear reactions to generate electricity.


How do power plants send nuclear energy to houses?

Nuclear energy is used to boil water into steam, just like burning coal does. The steam turns giant turbine generators which make electricity and the electricity is sent to your house with wires.


What electricity is used in India?

India uses Nuclear Powerplants as major sources of it Electricity. It also has a few coal stations and some water turbines at a few dams. But 80% of electricity generated in India is actually nuclear energy.


What is an energy source that is used to make electricity?

water power, coal, oil, nuclear power, solar, ocean currents ,wind power


How do you use water electricity?

Electricity is electricity . . . it does not matter whether it was created by falling water, burning coal or oil, or by a nuclear power plant.


How is nuclear energy good for communities?

If these communities have not oil, methane, coal, hydroelectric power the nuclear energy is very important to produce electricity or heat.


What are the sourcess of electricity?

in many sources we are producing electricity. They are water, from combustion of coal , from wind , from biomass ,and from nuclear power


What are some resources used to generate electricity in energy stations?

Some resources used to generate electricity in energy stations include coal, natural gas, nuclear energy, hydropower, solar energy, wind energy, and biomass. These resources are used to power turbines that generate electricity through various methods such as steam, combustion, or harnessing natural forces.


What are examples of nuclear energy in the kitchen?

Nuclear energy is not used in typical kitchen appliances or cooking processes. Most kitchen appliances run on electricity generated from sources such as natural gas, coal, or renewable energy. Nuclear energy is primarily used in power plants to generate electricity on a large scale.


How does coal produce energy?

Coal produces energy through combustion where heat is generated by burning coal in a furnace. The heat produced converts water into steam which drives a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity. Coal is a fossil fuel that releases stored energy when burned, making it a primary source for electricity generation in many countries.


How nuclear energy is changed into energy?

Nuclear power stations use nuclear fuel to heat water as opposed to oil, gas or coal. That is the basic difference. When fissionable material breaks down it gives off heat, as well as other stuff, that heat is used to heat the water which drives the turbines to produce the electricity.


Is coal a nuclear or motion energy?

Coal is a fossil fuel, which possesses potential chemical energy. It is not nuclear or kinetic
