How power is generated in thermal power station?
Asked by Topperlearning User | 07 Jul, 2015, 13:53: PM
answered-by-expert Expert Answer

In thermal power station super heated steam is produced by boiling water using coal or oil. This steam pushes the turbines and rotates it. This rotation of turbines produces electricity.
