Electrical energy transforms into what type of energy?
Three types? I can think of more than that. But I suppose if we group some together: there is mechanical energy, solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy. Thermal energy in a power station is transformed into mechanical energy so is covered by that. But then both wind energy and hydro energy convert to mechanical before the electricity is produced. So really at a fundamental level there seems only mechanical and solar. Mechanical would include fossil fuels, (coal, oil, natural gas,), nuclear, wind, incinerators, hydro, geothermal, and biomass, which all drive a mechanical device to produce the electricity. Solar produces electricity directly from photovoltaic cells so that is not mechanical.

What is an example of energy conversion using mechanical energy?
The mechanical energy of a power plant turbine, driven by steam or by water (hydro), is converted to electrical energy
What form of energy is produced by Hydro?
Electrical energy produced from mechanical energy (kinetic energy) that moving turbines.
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.
How does hydro help produce energy?
The water goes in as mechanical energy and out as electric energy powering schools and homes.
How is hydro power obtained?
1.Water is collected at a certain height in huge reservoirs. 2.This water,which has lot of potential energy 3.The energy of falling water is used for generating electricity in hydro-electric power stations 4.In hydro-electric power plants turbines are used to convert the energy of falling water into mechanical energy 5.Hydro-electric power plants have least operating cost 6.They are free from environmental problem
Can electrical energy be produced from mechanical energy?
Yes, of course.It happens all the time. In wind mills,hydro power plants directly mechanical energy is used
What are 3 types of electric energy?

What energy changes takes place at the hydro electric power station?
Gravitational potential energy in the water is converted into mechanical energy by turning turbine "blades", the mechanical energy (kinetic energy) is converted to electrical energy by the electric generator.
What are some examples of forms of energy?
Natural Forms of energy : Solar, Hydro, Wind, Heat energy Artificial : Nuclear, Muscular, Electric, Mechanical,
What are 2 kinds of energy derived from water?
Hydro power, and mechanical power from vaporised water (steam)
