Chapter 8, Problem 35R

To determine

To Choose: The correct option.

Answer to Problem 35R

Option (A)

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The power plants are used to produce electricity by the generation of the electric current. The steam forms by giving heat input to water. This steam rotates the turbine to generate electricity.

The nuclear power plant converts nuclear energy into thermal energy. The thermal energy produces the steam and this steam generates the electricity by rotating the turbine, so option (A) is correct.

The plutonium, carbon dioxide and water cannot run the turbine in the nuclear power plant to generate electric current, so option (B), option (C) and option (D) are incorrect.

Conclusion:

Thus, the correct option is A.
