Answer:
Natural gas, propane, fuel oil, and wood/biomass make up the “home fuels” category, which is all about nonelectrical sources of heat inside the home. For homes with nonelectrical appliances, these fuels are burned on-site to heat interior space and water, cook food, and dry clothes.
Gasoline - Essential for Transportation
The most obvious fuel used in daily life runs cars, school buses and trucks. Gasoline and diesel are non-renewable fuels created from crude oil deposits in the ground or beneath the oceans.
Natural Gas - Heating and Cooking
Natural gas can power the heating systems, stove tops, water heaters and dryers in your home. Natural gas burns very cleanly and creates abundant energy when burning;
Coal - Electric Power
Many electrical plants burn coal as the primary fossil fuel for powering the electrical supply for homes across the country. According to the American Coal Foundation, coal-powered electricity fuels the electrical needs for more than half of all U.S. homes.
Also!!
We receive power in our house through a main supply, commonly called mains.
It is supplied through overhead cables or underground cables.
There are 3 types of wires in domestic circuits : Earth Wire, Live Wire, Neutral Wire.
Earth wire: It is generally green in color. It is usually connected to a metal plate placed in the earth near the house as a safety measure to ground gadgets that have a metallic body. (refrigerator, toaster). In case of charges leaking on to the metallic body, the charges gets grounded and thus prevent shocks.
Live wire: Positive wire generally red in color
Neutral wire: Negative wire generally black in color
