Question

Identify the energy resource and the corresponding energy change shown in the figure below.

• A. Tidal energy, Potential energy $\to$ Kinetic energy
• B. Hydel energy, Potential energy $\to$ Kinetic energy
• C. Tidal energy, Kinetic energy $\to$ Potential energy
• D. Hydel energy, Kinetic energy $\to$ Potential energy

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Hydel energy, Potential energy $\to$ Kinetic energy

The figure shows a dam which is used to store water at a height. This is used to harness hydel energy. The potential energy of water stored at a height is converted into kinetic energy of water, which is then used to rotate a turbine and produce electricity.
