Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary method of generating electricity in a thermal power plant?
  • Step 1: A thermal power plant burns fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, or oil.
  • Step 2: The burning of these fuels produces heat.
  • Step 3: The heat is used to boil water and create steam.
  • Step 4: The steam is directed to a turbine.
  • Step 5: The steam pushes the turbine blades, causing the turbine to spin.
  • Step 6: The spinning turbine is connected to a generator, which produces electricity.
