Twisting Electrical

When we cannot reuse a source of energy after using it once we call them  “conventional sources of power”  or “ non-renewable power resources” . They are the most important conventional sources of power. These include coal, petroleum, natural gas and nuclear energy. Oil  is the most widely used source of power.  Coal, petroleum and natural gas account for about 90% of world’s production of commercial energy and hydroelectric and nuclear power account for about 10%. Types of conventional sources       1) Thermal power      2) Hydro power      3) Nuclear power 1) Thermal Power A  thermal power  is a  power  in which heat energy is converted to electricity . In most of the places in the world the turbine is steam-driven. Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator. Thermal power station  2) Hydro Power Hyd...

              Electricity is a basic part of nature and it is one of our most widely used forms of energy. We get electricity, which is a secondary energy source, from the conversion of other sources of energy, like coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear power, solar, wind and other natural sources, which are called primary sources. Many cities and towns were built alongside waterfalls that turned water wheels to perform work.        The principles of electricity gradually became understood. In the mid-1800s, everyone's life changed with the invention of the electric light bulb. Prior to 1879, electricity had been used in arc lights for outdoor lighting. The lightbulb's invention used electricity to bring indoor lighting to our homes. Generation of electricity        An electric generator is a device for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. The process is based on the relation...
