Can't be answered. 12 Watts is a measure of power, not energy - so you have to say how long you want it for.

12 watts for 10 seconds would be a quite different answer than 12 watts for one hour.

How does fossil fuel power station work?

Fossil fuel power stations burn coal, oil, or natural gas to generate electricity. The fuel is burned in a boiler to produce steam, which then drives a turbine connected to a generator that produces electricity. The electricity is then sent through power lines for distribution to homes and businesses.


How does a fossil fuel power station work?

A fossil fuel power station burns coal, oil, or natural gas to produce heat which then converts water into steam. The steam drives a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity. This electricity is then transmitted through power lines to homes and businesses.


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.


How is energy created in fossil fuel power plants?

It is changed into electricity by a machine.It is used to heat water which, when changed into steam, powers the turbines, these then turn the generators to produce electricity


Why is fossil fuel burned in a power station?

Fossil fuels are burned in power stations because they are a concentrated source of energy that can be easily converted into electricity. The combustion of fossil fuels releases heat energy, which is used to boil water and produce steam that drives turbines connected to generators, generating electricity.
