Text Solution

Verified by Experts

High rise dams are constructed on the river to obstruct the flow of water to collect it at suitable height. The stored water has a lot of potential energy.
The water from a suitable height is allowed to fall on the blades of a turbine located at the bottom of a dam through a pipe.
Kinetic eneergy of following water rotates the turbine the armature coil of generator to rotate rapidly in the magnetic field. Thus hydroelectricity is generated.
