Chapter 7.3, Problem 7.3TYU
In a hydroelectric generating station, falling water is used to drive turbines (“water wheels”), which in turn run electric generators. Compared to the amount of gravitational potential energy released by the falling water, how much electrical energy is produced? (i) The same; (ii) more; (iii) less.
