Q1 of 13 Page 128

The correct sequence of energy changes in hydroelectric power station is,

When water is stored in the tank, it possesses potential energy. Then the water is released and it possesses kinetic energy due to the motion. As the water is in motion it possesses kinetic energy as well as possesses potential energy due to height. so, kinetic energy changes into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then stored in a generator using a turbine in the form of electrical energy.
