Jaden listed the similarities of using coal, natural gas, and petroleum to generate electricity. coal, natural gas, and petroleum: – use turbines – require heat – convert electrical energy to kinetic energy – produce pollution in the form of smoke which best describes jaden’s mistake? only coal-fired power plants use turbines. power plants do not require heat. kinetic energy is converted to electrical energy. coal does not produce pollution.

Explanation:

Jaden's mistake is ' convert electrical energy to kinetic energy'. He should have said 'Kinetic energy is converted to electrical energy'. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object. Coal, natural gas and petroleum are used to power turbines. The spinning turbines then possess kinetic energy. Turning a turbine about a magnet/magnetic field then converts kinetic energy to electrical energy.
