Electric power, dissipated as energy is produced by spinning generators. The generators are in turn driven by a rotating force, produced by a number of means. Water under pressure driven through a hypodermic needle hole hits the vanes in a turbine and causes it to spin. the spinning turbine is attached to the generator that depends on that spin to generate electricity. This is how water turns into electric energy.

What do solar cells turn energy from the sun directly into?
electric energy
What energy is wasted in a microwave?
Electric energy. Some turn to heat in the machine, some turn to noise.
What are some examples of how electricity can be converted to other forms of energy?
Electricity is stored as chemical energy when you charge a battery. Electric motors turn electricity into kinetic energy. Electric ranges/ovens/stoves turn electricity into heat energy.
When you turn a CD player you are using this form of energy to produce sound energy?
electric energy converted in to sound energy
When you turn on a lamp what energy does it convert to?
It goes from electric to light to heat .
What type of energy enables water to turn turbines in dams?
Hydro - Electric
Explain why electric motors and generators are opposites?
Electric motors take electric energy and turn it into kinetic energy Generators take mechanical energy and turn it into electric energy
When you turn on a toaster will the electric energy turn to magnetic energy?
No it wont
Is falling water an energy resource?
Yes, falling water can turn a turbine and generate electricity, as it does in hydro-electric dams.
What energy transfers takes place when the turbine turn the generator?
kinetic energy is transfered to electric energy
What is hydro-electric energy?
Hydro-electric energy is the energy captured from the movement of water. Usually a dam is built which stores the water behind it. Water is released through the dam turning turbines which generate electricity.
Electric energy generated from moving water is called?
Electric energy generated from a water source is typically known as hydroelectric energy.
I want to go on vacation and turn off my electric water heater using the switch on my fuse box My question is is it bad for an electric water heater for the electric power to be cut off?
No, and this is a very good energy saving practice.
What do solar cells turn energy from the sun directly into?
electric energy
What energy is wasted in a microwave?
Electric energy. Some turn to heat in the machine, some turn to noise.
What energy transformation takes place when you turn a radio?
sound to electric energy
What does a loudspeaker use to turn electric energy into sound?
magnets!
