The image below shows the basic construction of a hydroelectric dam. A student claims that the type of energy transformation that occurs in this system is mechanical to electrical
Hydroelectric Dam
Reservoir
Power Lines
Gervsretur
Turtsine
River
Which of the following statements would BEST support the student's claim?
OA. Electricity must move to travel through power lines and reach people's homes
OB. The turtine must tum for electricity to flow from the generator to the power anes
C. Water must now from a higher place to a lower one for electricity to be created.
D. The electricity flowing through the power lines has enough energy to move objects
B. The turbine must turn for electricity to flow from the generator to the power lines
This statement directly links the mechanical movement of the turbine to the generation of electricity, supporting the claim that the energy transformation in a hydroelectric dam system is from mechanical to electrical.
