it is the pumping of water for energy. it is the pumping of water for energy.
Hydroelectricity is electrical energy generated from mechanical energy, when water is released from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure (typically, a lake, river or reservoir) to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure.

To have hydroelectricity you need water falling through an appreciable height to gain speed and kinetic energy.
Water wheels in water flowing horizontally also can produce a moderate amount of power.

How does wind converts into electrcity?
Wind turns the turbines of a windmill, and so, the wind energy gets converted into mechanical energy. This in turn produces electricity...
How does electrcity flow?
By movement of free electrons in conductors
What 5 positive things about using Nuclear Power?
creates electrcity.....uses coal and oil which is what we live on.....helps develop nuclear weapons to protect ourselves.....very clean, safe, and nonexpensive.........find cures to deadly diseases creates electrcity.....uses coal and oil which is what we live on.....helps develop nuclear weapons to protect ourselves.....very clean, safe, and nonexpensive.........find cures to deadly diseases
Static electrcity is electrons that are not moving?
The flow of electrons is called "current", just like the flow of water in a river.The word "static" means unmoving or stationary.
What allows energy or electrcity to flow through readily?
Electricity can flow in the conductor becourse the conductor is made up by electrons. When the wire is connected to the source, these electrons do vibrate and caurse collision among themself. This collision caurse electricity to flow throw the conductor/wire.
What does electrcity energy change into?
Heat and/or light.
How does wind converts into electrcity?
Wind turns the turbines of a windmill, and so, the wind energy gets converted into mechanical energy. This in turn produces electricity...
Is air a conductor of electrcity?
No
Can electrcity attract and repel?
No
How is electrcity produced by machine?
No, because electricity is a secondary energy source, so it's produced by primary energy sources like coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear power, and other natural energy sources.
Why is solar energy the ultimate source of energy in a hydroelectric plant?
The sun lifts the water from the oceans to form the clouds that dump the rains that eventually run into the dams that drive the turbines to produce the electrcity.
Who invented electrcity?
nobody, it just is.
What electrcity was around in 1818?
yes
What says how difficult it is for electrcity to flow?
Resistance
Why do school electricity bills cost so much money?
Electrcity bills are linked to the amount of energy used, and a school will get a high bill if a lot of energy has been used, just like all other customers.
How do you make light on alchemy?
Glass+Electrcity=light
How does electrcity flow?
By movement of free electrons in conductors
