QUESTION 3

What steps are involved in creating hydroelectric power?

Water falls through a channel to a reservoir where it turns a turbine to generate electricity.

Water flows into the reservoir where the generator is located. The generator turns, which causes the turbine to transform electricity.

Water flows past a paddle that turns a generator attached to a turbine, and this creates electricity.

Water falls from a reservoir through a channel to a turbine. The water turns the turbines, which allows the generator to make electricity.

Explanation:

Hydroelectric power is generated from free falling water through a river channel.

The flow of water at a high speed creates water current and the kinetic energy of the water movement spins turbine attached with a generator. This produces a rotating energy which spins the generator and the coil inside.

The magnetic spinning of coiled wire inside the generator produces electric current which is then stored and transmitted through electric power grid lines to supply electric current.
