Question

In hydro power .............%of potential energy is converted into electrical energy.

Answer 1

In hydro power, flowing water is used to convert potential energy to electrical energy. In this way, at least 90% of the potential energy is converted into electrical energy or electricity.

Water is generally stored behind dams in reservoirs. Reservoirs get filled with water during the rainy season or from natural inputs like rivers and streams. This water is released on to huge turbines in the dam, which generate electricity.

Dams thus help in electricity generation as well as in regulating water supply for agriculture and other purposes.

Answer 2
