Question

name the type of energy transformations that take place in hydro power plant

Answer 1

Potential energy of the water in the reservoir changes to kinetic energy as it is forced through the turbine. The blades of turbine represent mechanical energy, spinning the turbine generator which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy due to the nature of the generator.

Generators use electromagnetic induction turbines, which at its basic level is rotating a wire within a magnetic field, this generating electricity.
