Answer 1

Answer:

Put very simply, hydroelectric power is generated using flowing water to spin a turbine which turns a shaft that's connected to an electric generator. ... The bigger the elevation and the more water that flows through the turbine, the greater the capacity for electricity generation

Answer 2

$\huge\colorbox{cyan}{Answer ✯࿐}$

Electricity is all around us. Whether it’s our bedroom lamp, our favorite gaming system, or the fridge that holds all of our favorite snacks, electricity powers them all. These days it even powers many of our cars. Electricity takes different forms: coal, water, solar, wind, nuclear, hydro and solar.

Hydroelectric Energy :-

Hydroelectric energy is a form of renewable energy that uses the power of moving water to generate electricity.

Large scale hydroelectricity projects typically involve dams. Run-of-river and tidal projects also harness the power of moving water to generate renewable electricity.

A hydroelectric dam converts the potential energy stored in a water reservoir behind a dam to mechanical energy—mechanical energy is also known as kinetic energy. As the water flows down through the dam its kinetic energy is used to turn a turbine.

The generator converts the turbine’s mechanical energy into electricity.

How electricity gets to your house:-

1. Electricity is made at a generating station by huge generators. Generating stations can use wind, coal, natural gas, or water.
2. The current is sent through transformers to increase the voltage to push the power long distances.
3. The electrical charge goes through high-voltage transmission lines that stretch across the country.
4. It reaches a substation, where the voltage is lowered so it can be sent on smaller power lines.
5. It travels through distribution lines to your neighborhood. Smaller transformers reduce the voltage again to make the power safe to use in our homes. These smaller transformers may be mounted on the poles, or sitting on the ground .
6. It connects to your house and passes through a meter that measures how much your family uses.
7. The electricity goes to the service panel in your basement or garage, where breakers or fuses protect the wires inside your house from being overloaded.
8. The electricity travels through wires inside the walls to the outlets and switches all over your house.
