As much as you want, as long as you keep supplying heat.

That's exactly how electricity is produced in nuclear power plants,

and in the ones that burn stuff, like oil, coal, natural gas etc.

How much heat is needed to produce electricity?

The amount of heat needed to produce electricity depends on the type of power plant being used. In general, fossil fuel power plants such as coal or natural gas plants require high temperatures to generate steam that drives turbines to produce electricity. Renewable energy sources like solar or geothermal also rely on heat to generate electricity through different processes.


What is a form of electricity that can produce heat and light?

An example of electricity that can produce heat and light is incandescent light bulbs. These bulbs use electricity to heat a filament inside, causing it to give off light and heat. The filament emits light as a result of being heated to a high temperature.


How can gas create energy?

Gas can create energy through combustion, where it is burned to produce heat that can be used to generate electricity or power engines. The heat from burning gas can also be used to heat water and produce steam, which can drive turbines to generate electricity.


How does Thorium produce electricity?

Thorium can produce electricity through a process called nuclear fission. When thorium nuclei absorb a neutron, they can split, releasing energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity.


How do you generate electricity using trash?

Trash can be burned to produce heat, which can then be used to produce steam that drives a turbine generator to produce electricity. This process is known as waste-to-energy. Additionally, landfill gas from decomposing organic waste can be collected and used to fuel generators that produce electricity.

Why does the splitting generate electricity?

If you mean nuclear fission, then this does not generate electricity directly. The energy released is essentially light/heat energy and this is used to heat water to produce steam. The steam is then used to drive turbines/generators to produce the electricity.

How is electricity produced when coal is burned?

Coal is burned to produce heat The heat is used to produce steam in a boiler. The steam is used to turn a turbine and generator set. This causes electricity to run through the wires.


How renewable and non-renewable enerygy sources produce electricity?

They produce electricity be burning coal and then the coal is used to heat, light and do lots of other things.


Does coal generate electricity?

Coal can't generate electricity by itself, but through the process of combustion, it can produce heat which can be used to produce steam that can run turbines which are connected to generators that produces electricity.
