Question

Principle of generating electricity in hydroelectric power plants is

(A) potential energy is converted into kinetic energy than to electric energy.

(B) kinetic energy of flowing water is directly converted into electricity.

(C) allowing the stored water to absorb more of solar energy.

(D) Conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy.​

Answer 1

Answer:

b)kinetic energy of flowing water is directly converted into electricity.

Answer 2

Answer:

In both cases potential energy is converted to another form. Work is done by a force, but since this force is conservative, we can write W = –ΔPE. ... It is as if the charge is going down an electrical hill where its electric potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
