Question

Arrange the forms of energy in correct order (top to bottom) from water stored in a dam to an electric heater in household.

• A. Potential energy
• B. Kinetic energy
• C. Heat energy
• D. Electric energy

Answer 1

• Water stored in the dam contains potential energy.
• Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when water is released.
• The heavy water flow strikes the blades of the turbine, causing it to spin. The turbine is connected to the generator. The generator produces electrical energy.
• The electrical energy is transferred to household appliances including electric heaters. The heater converts electrical energy into heat energy.
