Nuclear fuel - uranium - gets hot and brings water to boil. The steam makes a turbine spin, and the turbine makes an electric generator spin. Electricity from the generator is fed out onto the grid and into peoples homes.
Not sure what you mean by "simpyfied", but the simplified form is 2*sqrt(2).
Nuclear energy is converted to electrical energy in a nuclear power plant.
All energy can be thought of as the capacity to do work
The energy released in nuclear fission, mainly of uranium-235
Nuclear energy and chemical energy both involve potential energy stored within particles or bonds. However, nuclear energy involves changes in the nucleus of an atom (nuclear reactions), while chemical energy involves changes in the arrangement of atoms and electrons in molecules (chemical reactions).
Nuclear energy is not considered a renewable energy source because it relies on the fission of uranium atoms, which is a finite resource. However, nuclear power plants can help support renewable energy sources by providing a baseload of constant power that can complement intermittent sources like wind and solar.

Yes, nuclear energy can work well with other forms of energy. It can complement renewable energy sources by providing consistent baseload power, which helps to stabilize the grid when renewables are intermittent. Additionally, nuclear energy can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions when combined with clean energy sources.
Yes, Albert Einstein played a key role in the development of nuclear energy. While he did not conduct experimental work in nuclear physics, his famous equation E=mc^2 laid the theoretical foundation for understanding the relationship between mass and energy, which is fundamental to nuclear energy production and the development of nuclear weapons.
The kWh produced by nuclear energy is the cheapest. It is a clean energy that does not pollute the environment. It gives chance for people to work during its construction and operation. It is reliable source of energy.
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
Marie Curie's contribution to nuclear energy was primarily in the area of research on radioactivity. She discovered the elements polonium and radium, which are highly radioactive. Her work laid the foundation for later research in nuclear physics and the development of nuclear energy.
