Question

Write the energy conversion in a hydropower plant? For class10

Answer 1

energy converts from potential energy to kinetic engery and thus rotating turbines

Answer 2

➡️In a hydroelectric power plant, the potential energy of water at higher level is converted to kinetic energy by letting it flow at a faster rate.✔️

➡️The fast falling water rotates the turbine of the generator. ✔️

➡️Thus, kinetic energy of the water is converted into mechanical energy of the turbine.✔️

➡️The axle of the turbine is connected to the armature of the electric generator.✔️

➡️Thus the rotating turbine now rotates the armature in the magnetic field of the generator.✔️

➡️As a result, mechanical energy of the rotating system of the generator is converted into electrical energy of the generator.✔️

➡️Thus, we have electrical energy as output from the hydroelectric power plant.✔️
