What else can I help you with?
What power was first used to generate electricity in 1890?
Simple answer, coal. We, as humans, have used coal since the bronze age for heat. In the 1800's when the industrial revolution started, coal was used to boil water. this water could drive a turbine, which is basically how we get our power today, things haven't changed too much in that respect.
Will solar panels work if it's raining?
Solar panels can still generate some electricity when it's raining, although their efficiency will be significantly reduced. The amount of sunlight reaching the panels is reduced by the cloud cover and rain, impacting their ability to produce electricity.
What do you call the electricity that comes to your houses?
The electricity that comes to your houses is typically referred to as grid electricity or utility electricity, as it is provided by a utility company through power lines connected to a larger electrical grid.
Can you use static electricity to light a light bulb?
No, static electricity is not typically strong enough to light a light bulb. To light a light bulb, you generally need a continuous flow of electricity, which is not provided by static electricity. Static electricity is more commonly used in applications like static shocks or attracting small objects.
What does a nuclear reactor produce?
In a nuclear power plant, the nuclear reactors are (generally) fission reactors that split atoms (of nuclear fuel) through a continuous, controlled neutron chain reaction. The primary useful product of a nuclear reactor is heat. The heat is used to generate steam that will drive steam turbines to generate electric power. Reactors are also used to produce nuclear material that is then applied to medicine or to make sources for radiography (x-ray pictures of welds and stuff) and other applications. There are other applications, like the generation of plutonium which is used for weapons or fuel for other reactors. Most reactors are designed, constructed and used to generate electric power. These reactors are set up to deliver large quantities of heat that is used to produce steam. This steam is used to drive steam-driven turbines, which generate electricity. There is a ton of information about the types of reactors and the applications to which they are put available from our friends at Wikipedia. A link is provided.
What country has the majority of its electricity needs provided by nuclear power?
France has 75 percent, that is the highest
What are the benefits of residential wind generators?
One of the benefits to using a residential wind generator is lower electricity costs. Wind Generators also are environmentally friendly. If there should ever be a power outage, you would not be affected. You can generate power and then use a smaller amount of electricity provided by the power company. If you generate more electricity than you use, you can sell the excess to the power company.
How is geothermal energy provided to consumers?
Geothermal energy is provided to consumers through geothermal power plants. These plants harness heat from beneath the Earth's surface to generate electricity, which is then distributed to consumers through the existing power grid. Geothermal energy can also be directly used by consumers for heating and cooling purposes through geothermal heat pumps.

How important is electricity to antarctica?
Commercially produced electricity is not available in Antarctica. Electricity is provided to individual research stations by their own generators.
What new deal program helped with the economic recovery in the Tennessee River Valley region?
The Tennessee Valley Authority modernized the Tennessee River Valley region. It build a series of dams to control floods and generate electricity. The TVA provided desperately needed jobs and developed cheaper electricity which brought industry to the region.
In a command economy the majority of goods and servies are provided by the?
In a command economy, the majority of goods and services are provided by the government. more info:nsda.portal.gov.bd/site/page/92fd3b71-62de-43d9-b291-f80855dab52b
What type of electricity is mains electricity?
AC (Alternating Current) usually provided at either 110V or 220V.
Rural Electrification Administration provided electricity to who?
Rural Populations
What provides electricity in a circuit?
The electricity source in a circuit is generally provided by a power source which can either be a battery or an alternator.
How is hydro electricity connected to renewable energy?
Provided water was available in dams, hydro electricity can be produced indefinitely.
Will solar panels work if it's raining?
Solar panels can still generate some electricity when it's raining, although their efficiency will be significantly reduced. The amount of sunlight reaching the panels is reduced by the cloud cover and rain, impacting their ability to produce electricity.
