Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) In order to obtain electricity from a power plant, it is necessary to rotate the turbines.
(ii) Water is easily available and when water is heated steam can be formed. When pressure is applied on steam and allowed to pass through a small opening we can easily obtain kinetic energy.
(iii) Kinetic energy of the steam helps to rotate turbines easily and can be reused
(iv) Hence, in all types of thermal power plants steam is used to rotate turbines.
