You question is meaningless but the use of moving water to generate electricity is called 'Hydroelectricity'.


Which energy source uses the flow of moving water to generate electricity?

electricity from water is called hydro - or hydroelectric power


How can water be used to supply power?

Moving water can turn a water mill which can grind corn, cut wood or even pump water.Moving water can also spin electricity turbines and generate electricity in hydroelectric dams, or in rivers and tidal races.


What apparatus are needed to generate hydro-electricity?

Moving water (dams, rivers, tides) and turbines (like an electric motor in reverse) that will produce electricity when the moving water spins them round.


Which of the following does not use heat to generate electricity?

Hydropower does not use heat to generate electricity. Instead, it harnesses the energy from moving water, such as rivers or waterfalls, to generate power through turbines.


How do you power machinery with hydropower?

A paddle wheel or turbine is turned by the moving water (the kinetic energy). This can be connected by a system of gears, wheels or even pulleys to turn a machine. This was how grain was ground into flour. After electricity was understood, the water spins turbines which generate electricity, and this electricity is used to run machines.

True or false: energy from moving water can be converted into electricity?

True. Moving water, such as in rivers, can be used to turn turbines, which then generate electricity in a process known as hydroelectric power generation.


Why is moving water not commonly used to generate electricity?

A lot of water and pressure is needed to create a small amount of electricity. In many places, its not a viable solution.


Can moving Water be used to generate electricity?

Technically speaking, the molecular movement of water and how fast the molecules vibrate, the energy of that can be captured and the form of energy can be used to generate electricity. They use the hoover dam to do that.
