Coal Power Plants are used to provide electricity to certain areas. Explain the transformation of energy that occurs?

• Chemical > Mechanical > Thermal > Electrical

• Electrical > Thermal > Mechanical > Electrical

• Chemical > Thermal > Mechanical > Electrical

• I don't pay attention

Answer explanation

Remember, the coal is burned. This leads to the boiling of water, the steam moves through the pipes, and leads to the turbines moving. The moving of the turbines powers the generator (electricity).
