how is domestic electric made?

Answer 1

Normally a source of heat (like from burning fuel) turns water into steam. This steam pushes a turbine that spins a magnet within a coil of copper wire. The moving magnetic filed pushes electrons in the wire which produces electric current.

Nuclear power plants create heat by splitting Uranium atoms.

Falling water (hydroelectric power) or moving wind can spin turbines also, and some electricity is made directly from sunlight using the photoelectric effect in solar cells.

----------------------------------
Since the industrial revolution, coal has been fundamental to the creation of electricity in the United States. In 2002, 51.8% of the electricity generated in the United States came from the use of coal as an energy source. Nuclear, the next most substantial energy source, accounted for 19.8% of the total. At 16.1%, the combustion of natural gas contributed the third greatest amount of electricity [1] . Although coal is the primary supplier of electricity for the country as a whole, energy sources vary among the different states. This variance occurs due to a number of geographical, geological, and economic factors, which will be addressed in more detail. For example, Kentucky and Indiana depended upon coal for 96% and 94%, respectively, of their electricity production in 1999. In contrast, California used coal for a mere 1% of its 1999 electricity production, depending much more upon natural gas (46%) and hydroelectric power (22%) as sources for electricity. In Wisconsin, 69% of electricity production in 1999 depended upon coal...

Answer 2

The quick answer gas is piped to a Gas turbine this in turn is burnt creating heat and pressure exhaust gas which goes though a nozzle 3 or 4 sets and onto pre pitched blades 3 or 4 sets getting bigger as it goes through the machine these are attached to a rotor or shaft. This begins to rotate this rotor is coupled to a shaft in a generator which being coupled also turns the different fields in the generator make the electricity. To make it more efficient when the exhaust gases leave the gas turbine the go through a heat recovery steam generator or boiler and the steam is used in a steam turbine in the same way.

Answer 3

I know three possible methods:
A generator uses mechanical energy to turn a coil through a magnetic field to generate electricity. Lots of ways to do that so for details follow the link.
Solar power using photons of light to impact a material which releases electrons as a result.
Chemical generation using electrical batteries.
This is a very big question for only 5 words.
