The energy of moving water converted to electricity is called?
hydro, or hydroelectric power.
How is hydro power changed into other useful forms of energy?
Hydro power is used mainly to produce electricity .That happens in hydro power plants
What type of energy is converted by hydro power plant of falling water into electricity?
Firstly kinetic energy into mechanical energy by turbine,then mechanical energy to electrical energy by generator.
What is one situation where gravitational potential energy might be useful?
For example, in a hydroelectric power plant, where it is converted into electricity.For example, in a hydroelectric power plant, where it is converted into electricity.For example, in a hydroelectric power plant, where it is converted into electricity.For example, in a hydroelectric power plant, where it is converted into electricity.
What type of energy is used in a dishwasher?
Electricity to run the dishwasher. That electricity can be generated by coal, solar, gas, or hydro power.
The energy of moving water converted to electricity is called?

What is a hydro-electracity?
hydro-electricity is water power of energy
Is hydro power related to photo voltaic cells?
No, hydro power is electricity from water. Photo voltaic is electricity from sunlight.
How is hydro power changed into other useful forms of energy?
Hydro power is used mainly to produce electricity .That happens in hydro power plants
What can hydro power do?
It could produce electricity for your home.
Who invent the hydro power electricity?
Nikola Tesla
How does hydro-power form?
Hydro-power is electricity created when water is forced by gravity from a dam and through turbines. The spinning turbines turn generators, and electricity is produced.
What is the difference between small hydro power and large hydro power?
Large hydro power would be a dam in a river, storing water and generating electricity for agricultural, industrial and domestic use. Small hydro power systems could be as small as a turbine in a stream providing electricity to a single farm.
How does Hydro electricity power make electricity?
the basic principle is that the kinetic energy of falling water is converted to electrical energy.the water which falls on a water turbine makes it to rotate and the generator which is coupled to it(turbine) also rotates and produces electricity.
What are the uses of hydro electric power?
Hydro power is using the power of water (dams, rivers, oceans) to generate electricity. The uses of electricity are everywhere, powering factories, offices, homes, kitchens and living rooms. To produce electricity
How is hydro energy converted?
Water pressure is used to spin turbines which inturn product electricity.
Does hydro electricity use fossil fuels?
No hydro power is water and water is a renewable resource.
