Well i don't know what answers community is doing down there but here is the answer !
The force of flowing water is used to rotate the blades of a turbine and that turbine is then connected to a generator which work on the principle of induced EMF which is due to the movement of coil in the generator.
If you have seen the pirates of Caribbean then in one of the movies Jack Sparrow is stuck on a big wooden wheel, that is what was used in older times to generated electricity at a household level.

How does Earth get electricity?
Natural electricity is generated in storm clouds.
How does boiling a kettle increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The boiling water itself does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is just water vapor, which is itself a greenhouse gas, but is not carbon dioxide. However, in order to boil the water, you need heat. This heat can be generated by 1) burning wood, 2) burning natural gas, or 3) using electricity. Burning wood or natural gas releases carbon dioxide. Using electricity does not release carbon dioxide, but generating electricity usually does. Most electricity in generated by burning coal, which releases carbon dioxide. Only if the electricity is generated by nuclear, hydro-electric, wind or solar power will there be no carbon dioxide released.
What is the electricity generated by magnetism?
Electricity produced by magnetism is called induced voltage. It is by induction, the passage of a magnetic field across a conductor, that a voltage will be induced ("caused" or "made to happen") in that conductor.
What type of energy is generated by using the earth heat?
Geothermal energy - electricity.
What percentage of energy is produced by geothermal energy in the US?
According to US Energy Information Administration data for 2009, geothermal energy (based on electricity net generation kilowatthour billion figures) accounted for 3.58% of total renewable electricity generated in the USA in 2009 and just 0.38% of total electricity generated in 2009. All renewable sources (mostly sourced from hydroelectric, geothermal and wind) accounted for 10.7% of total electricity generated.
How is electrical energy generated from running water?
Usually the water will turn some wheels or turbine; this will then turn a generator, which generates the electricity.
What type of electricity is generated by water?
Hydroelectricity.
What electricity is generated using water?
Hydropower is generated using water. It harnesses the energy of flowing or falling water to produce electricity. This is done by capturing the kinetic energy of the water and converting it into mechanical energy, which is then used to spin turbines connected to generators, producing electricity.
How does water mess up electricity?
Water is stored in hydropower plants. Electricity is generated using the potential energy of water.
What does the phrase hydro electricity mean?
Electricity generated from the energy in a falling column of water.
What is the name given to electrical power generated from water turbines?
Electricity generated by water power alone is hydroelectric power.
What is hyroelectric power?
electricity generated from the force of falling water
What percent of the worlds electricity is supplied by hydro electricity?
16% of the world's electricity is generated by hydropower (water power).
What does hydro-electricity do?
Hyro-electricity is the same as any other electricity. the Hydro- prefix merely denotes how the electricity was generated, in this case it was generated at a hydro-electric plant which uses the potential energy of elevated water to generate electricity.
In uk electricity is generated as?
in the uk electricity is generated at ?
How is running water electricity?
Running water can turn a turbine that runs a generator.
Electricity generated from water trapped behind a dam?
it is number 78
