== == Think of an electric motor. When the power is turned on, a magnetic field is created which turns the shaft. This is entirely reversible. If you could turn a shaft fast enough artificially, you would generate electricity. This process is the concept behind hydroelectric power. Water coming through a dam turns the rotors of a massive turbine which generates power.
Moving water can be used to produce energy because potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy. Stored water is converted into kinetic energy. As the water travels, it is converted into electrical energy by having it turn a generator.

What is the hydroelctric power?
It's electric power made from the power generated by the current of water.
What is the production of electric power from running water?
hydroelectric power
Does all electricity generate from nuclear technology?
No. electric power has been in common use for over one hundred years, but nuclear technology has been in use for only about fifty or sixty years. Hydroelectric power is generated by flowing water as at a dam. Solar electric power is electricity generated by sunlight. Geothermal electricity is generated by the heat from inside the Earth used to convert water into steam in a generator. Windmills driven by the wind generate electric power; and there are many other sources of electric power.
What energy is generated from running water?
Energy is actually not created. Hydel power plant converts the stored water's potential into Kinetic energy energy in the runneer & at last to electrical energy through Generator
What is generated in a hydro-electric power plant?
Hydroelectric power plants generate electricity by the action of the "falling" water spinning a turbine which rotates a wire inside a big magnet.
Electric energy generated from moving water is called?
Electric energy generated from a water source is typically known as hydroelectric energy.
Why doesn't an Hydro Electric Power station also have a chimney?
Because it doesn't burn anything. Power is generated by water turning a turbine.
What type of energy is hydroelpower?
Hydro means fluid power and in this case that fluid is flowing water, usually a dam. el is electric So, hydro electric power or hydroelpower is electricity generated using flowing water from a dam.
How does hydroelectricity create energy from water power?
Water flowing through a turbine which is connected to an electric generator converts the water power to electrical energy. Electrical energy generated this way is known as hydroelecticity to differentiate it from electrical energy generated by other means, such as wind power, solar power, fossil fuels or nuclear fuels.
What is the name given to electrical power generated from water turbines?
Electricity generated by water power alone is hydroelectric power.
What happens when water flows over plexiglass electric charge?
Yup, an electric charge is generated.
State two uses of running water?
1. you can use it to power hydro electric power plants. 2. this one i don't know
