Two different rivers have dropped that are the same height in river. A this drop of the river is a waterfall in River B. This drop has the generator for a hydroelectric dam and what way does the energy of the water differ between the drops in the two rivers
The energy of the water in River A is potential energy, as it is simply a drop in elevation with no other means of harnessing the energy. In contrast, the energy of the water in River B is kinetic energy, as it is actively being utilized to generate electricity through the hydroelectric dam. This difference in the way the energy is harnessed and utilized means that the energy of the water in River B is being converted into a more useful form, whereas in River A it remains as potential energy.
