What drives hydro-electricity?

The power of falling water. The kinetic energy of the moving water is transformed into electrical energy by the spinning of turbines.


When you turn on a fan electrical energy changes into?

The electrical energy is converted to kinetic energy and heat. The kinetic energy is first seen in the blades of the fan as they rotate. This kinetic energy is converted to air movement, another form of kinetic energy. The electrical energy isn't fully converted to kinetic energy but turns into heat. This is generated by the magnetic fields of the motor and friction. Both of these are considered to be losses of energy but in fact they are simply a conversion to a form of energy that is not of use.


Electrical energy generated by falling water what is it called?

Hydro-electric


How does a hydroelectric dam change the type of energy?

There are several. Gravitational potential energy is transformed into linear kinetic energy, which is then transformed into rotational kinetic energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy.


What energy is produced from falling water?

when the water is flowing over the the dam with high velocity, it acquires great kinetic energy, when this water is used to turn the turbines, this kinetic energy will be converted into electrical energy. so, when the water flows over the dam, hydroelectricity is produced.


When a fan moves air what energy transformation is occurring?

Chemical energy stored in a battery is converted into electrical energy which drives the fan (converting the electrical energy to kinetic energy of the moving fan blades). This kinetic energy of the fan blades is then converted into kinetic energy of the surrounding air, and also there will be some heat generated too.


Why is electrical energy considered a form of kinetic energy?

I believe electrical energy is considered potential energy and not kinetic. Kinetic energy is when an object is moving, electrical energy is a stored energy that can be converted to kinetic energy.


Does electrical energy have kinetic energy?

Yes, Electrical Energy is classified under Kinetic Energy.


What kind of energy does the hover dam convert and what kind of energy does it output?

A hydroelectric dam converts part of the kinetic energy of falling water to electrical energy.


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.


A what is a device that changes kinetic energy into electrical energy?
