The hydroelectricity is produced by using the kinetic energy of falling water to drive turbines thus producing mechanical energy which is in turn converted to electrical energy.Dams are built across rivers for this.

How does Hydro electricity power make electricity?

the basic principle is that the kinetic energy of falling water is converted to electrical energy.the water which falls on a water turbine makes it to rotate and the generator which is coupled to it(turbine) also rotates and produces electricity.


Why does salt water split faster than other types of water when put with electricity?

Salt water contains a higher concentration of ions than less saline water, which makes it a better conductor of electricity.


What liquid makes water a bad conductor of electricity?

There are many liquids which are very bad conductors of electricity. these are basicall the type which are covalent in nature. examples: 1.)carbon tetrachloride, 2.)Benzene etc etc other organic fluids (fats etc) even pure water( i.e absolutely pure no impurity no contamination) is a good insulator.


How do you make electricity out of hydropower?

In hydro electricity, Water flowing from a high point to a lower one, is channelled through a turbine, causing it to spin. This rotation is connected to a generator, which makes electricity.
