  • In a hydroelectric power plant more electrical power can be generated if water falls from a greater height because (A) its temperature increases (B) larger amount of potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

In a hydroelectric power plant more electrical power can be generated if water falls from a greater height because

(A) its temperature increases

(B) larger amount of potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

(C) the electricity content of water increases with height

(D) more water molecules dissociate into ions

Answers (1)

Answer : (B)

Potential energy is directly proportional to the height. So more the height, more will be the potential energy.

In hydroelectric power plant if water falls from a greater height, a large amount of potential energy is converted into kinetic energy which in turn is converted into electric energy.

Therefore option (B) is correct
