How does hydroelectric power plant converts to electrial energy?
A hydroelectric power plant makes energy by spinning turbines that turn generators to create energy.water is taken in from lake thrue pipesthe pipes then carry the water to the turbinesThe turbines spin turning a generatorthe generator generates electricity sending it into power linesthe power lines carry the power to the power plantthe power plant sends the power to your home
How is potential energy used to generate electricity in a hydroelectric power plant?
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.
Why do wind turbines spin?
Because the wind moves the blades witch causes the turban to go
In a hydroelectric dam the movement of a river is used to spin many wheels. The wheels are called turbines. The spinning is used to make electricity. What is the source of this renewable energy?
Water?
How is electricity produced by wind energy?
The wind spins the blades which are connected to turbines which cause the turbines to spin and create electricity that is spread across a power grid.
Can you give me a sentence with the word hydroelectric power?
The process of using falling water to spin turbines is called hydroelectric power.
What do hydroelectric power plants use falling water to spin?
Turbines. These are then used to spin magnets next to wires. This generates electricity.
How is hydro power produced?
Hydroelectric power is produced when water is dammed or concentrated to one point: turbines. The turbines spin as the rushing water speeds down the pipes or dam. As the turbines spin, they also turn a generator which needs movement to provide energy. The electricity produced by a generator is then transfered to power lines which carry electricity for hundreds of miles.

What is hydroelectric and how is it used?
It is energy that is created using water. Water rushes through turbines, turning them. This causes a magnet to spin around a metal coil. This creates electricity. This is commonly used in dams

How can you get energy from hydro electric power?
you can get energy from hydro-electric power because the water flowing causes turbines to spin, therfore the movement from the turbines creates energy - hope this was useful and dont copy and paste this put it in your own words mate, GOOD LUCK!!
What uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine?
Hydroelectric power
Why do wind turbines spin?
Because the wind moves the blades witch causes the turban to go
Why are dams built near river?
it is bcoz in a hydroelectric power station, fast flowing water spins the turbines. On a wind farm, the wind turbines spin due to fast wind and in the sea, in the sea, waves and the tide can be used to make a turbine spin. Courtesy by: sex
How power generators work?
Giant wheels called TURBINES are used to spin the magnets inside the generator. It takes a lot of energy to spin the turbine and different kinds of power plants get that energy from different sources. In a hydroelectric station, falling water is used to spin the turbine. In nuclear and fossil-fuelled generating stations, steam is used. A wind turbine uses the force of moving air.
