Write the energy conversion that takes place in a hydropower plant |
|
Answer» In order to generate electricity a HIGH rise dam is built to stop the flowing water.. due to this a RESERVOIR is created behind the dam .. the flowing water has lot of POTENTIAL energy which is converted into kinetic energy when the water in the reservoir is made to fall from the sliding gates at half the height from dam ....this water is taken through a pipe to the TURBINE installed at the bottom of dam .... the force of water pushes the blades of turbine and the energy is converted first from potential energy to kinetic energy n then to electrical energy |
