Question

When the water stored in dams is made to run a turbine, the potential energy of stored water partly changes into electric energy.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Water stored in the dam has potential energy.
2. When this water is allowed to fall potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
3. This kinetic energy of moving water moves the turbine which ultimately generates electrical energy.
4. So, we can say that the potential energy of water is converted into electrical energy.

Hence, the given statement is true.
