Question

Write the energy conversion that takes place in a hydropower plant.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.

Answer 2

In a hydropower plant following energy conversion occurs,

Potential energy of water→Kinetic energy of turbine→Electrical energy of generator.
