Question

19. Which of the following correctly represents the steps involved in energy conversion in thermal power house?
(a) chemical energy- kinetic energy- heat energy-electrical energy
(b) heat energy- chemical energy-electrical energy- kinetic energy
(c) chemical energy-kinetic energy-electrical energy- heat energy
(d) Chemical energy- heat energy- kinetic energy-electrical energy

Answer 1

Explanation:

potential energy of the of water in the reservoir gets converted into the kinetic energy of the flowing water. The flowing water rotates the turbine shaft connected to the generator which produces electricity. and Thus kinetic energy of water transforms into the mechanical energy of turbine which further gets converted into the electric energy.
