A hydro dam works by taking the energy of water flow and converting it into an electric voltage. The water is regulated through a series of water turbines. The water flows through the turbine, pushing the turbine blades causing a rotation to a shaft. The shaft is then attached to an electrical generator. Inside the electrical generator, magnets are rotated around wire coil inductors which cause a voltage.

The word 'hydro' means water. When water is stored in a reservoir by construction dam, the stored water will have gravitational potential energy. When water is allowed to flow down this PE is changed into kinetic energy. This KE will make the wheels of a turbine to rotate. This mechanical energy ie rotational energy is changed into electrical energy with the help of magnetic field. This phenomenon is known as electromagnetic induction, first found by Michael Faraday. This is how hydro power is changed into electrical power.

The energy in moving (falling) water, is supplied by gravity, and the moving water has kinetic energy. This mechanical energy is applied to turbine blades, and the turbines turn electric generators to generate electricity.

Hydro power is generated by using kinetic energy from flowing water to turn turbines in generators.
Turbine is moved with flow of water and this is coupled with generator to produce electricity
Firstly, the topographer makes a detailed study of the topography on the local, in which the hydroelectric power plant will be built. Then on an appropriate place the terrain is lowered to form the waterfall which will move the turbines that will generate electricity. The river is blocked to form a huge dam and it has a channel to make the water fall from the top of the dam. Many stages to be followed until the turbines begin to generate electricity.
A dam is used to make an artificial lake in a river which can be used to generate hydroelectric power or as a reservoir.
Dams such as Hoover Dam or the dams of the Niagra River generate hydroelectric power.
In hydroelectric power station we use the potential energy of water to generate electricity.
to generate electricity by utilizing energy of falling water

Singapore does not use hydroelectric dams to generate electricity.
Hydroelectric power is generated by water passing through the blades of a turbine to generate electricity. Typically this is done at a waterfall or dam.
A hydroelectric dam uses the force of flowing water to drive turbines which generate electric power.
Turbines in a hydroelectric dam use the force of flowing water to generate electricity. They convert the kinetic energy of water into mechanical energy by spinning a rotor, which is connected to a generator that produces electricity. The efficiency of turbines in a dam can be influenced by factors such as water flow rate and turbine design.
No. Water can be used in a hydroelectric dam to generate electricity, but this does not make us use more or less water in our homes.
oh boy,,, How about the hydroelectric generators and the base of a dam ?? Electricity for you and me ... ?
Take for example, a dam. Water flows through the gates (when opened) of the dam and turn turbines. Inside these turbines are coils of copper usually that generate electricity.

Yes, a hydroelectric dam can generate enough electricity to power an entire city, depending on its size and capacity. The amount of electricity produced is determined by factors such as water flow, dam design, and the energy needs of the city. Many large hydroelectric projects are specifically designed to meet the energy demands of urban areas, providing a sustainable and renewable power source. However, the effectiveness can vary based on local conditions and infrastructure.
