Question 15.
Explain with diagram step-by-step energy conversion in
Hydroelectric power plant:
Answer:
In hydroelectric power plant, the potential energy in water stored in dam is converted into kinetic energy of water. Fast flowing is brought from the dam to the turbine at the bottom of the dam. The kinetic energy of the flowing water drives the turbine. The turbine in turn drives the generator to generate electricity. The step- by - step transformation of energy is shown in the diagram below:
