Think about what happens in a hydroelectric plant. The potential energy in the water is called 'potential' because the water has a place to go-- down. As the water falls it gains more and more kinetic energy. What is the water made to do before it's released? It passes through huge turbines and it makes the turbines spin. It's the spinning of the turbines that generates electricity. The kinetic energy of the water is converted to electricity.
potential energy
electricity from water is called hydro - or hydroelectric power
Worst to best way to generate electricity: 1.)Nuclear Energy 2.)Fossil Fuels 3.)Solar Energy 4.)Wind Energy 5.)Hydroelectric 6.)Geothermal Energy
The water's potential energy is converted into mechanical energy (movement); this is then converted to electricity.
kinetic energy (potential energy) which transfers to mechanical energy
In hydroelectric power station we use the potential energy of water to generate electricity.
Hydroelectric energy uses water to turn large turbines in damns to generate electricity, while wind energy uses wind to turn wind turbines to generate electricity.
potential energy
Moving water can be used to generate electricity in hydroelectric power stations.

It is the energy released from earth's surface. It can be used to generate electricity.

Since hydroelectric energy supplies electricity, any industry that uses electricity from a hydroelectric plant relies on this energy.

Hydroelectric lakes, geothermal energy, wind power and fossil fuels.
Yes, this would be a simple hydroelectric machine and the electricity generated could be stored in a battery
