Question

What is the sequence of energy changes in a hydroelectric plant?

Answer 1

Potential energy of the water in the reservoir changes to kinetic energy as it is forced through the turbine. The blades of turbine represent mechanical energy, spinning the turbine generator which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy due to the nature of the generator.

Generators use electromagnetic induction turbines, which at its basic level is rotating a wire within a magnetic field, this generating electricity.

Hope this helped. :)

Answer 2

The turbine blades capture the kinetic energy of the water

The mechanical energy of the turbine rotates the generator parts

The generator produces electrical energy

Electrical energy is transferred via power lines

Hope this helps :D
