Electricity generation

Electricity generation is the process of creating electricity from other sources of energy. It happens when we convert energy from sources such as coal, natural gas, nuclear power, solar power, wind, and hydropower into electricity.

To explain how this works, let's use an example. When coal is burned, it releases energy in the form of heat. This heat is used to make the water inside a boiler very hot and turn it into steam. This steam is then used to drive a turbine, which is a big spinning wheel with blades attached to it. The spinning blades on the turbine create energy in the form of electricity. This electricity can then be used to power different kinds of machines, appliances, and lights.
