Answer:

Gravitational to Mechanical to electrical

Explanation:

In a hydropower dam, the gravitational potential energy is converted to mechanical energy which in turn produces electrical energy.

  • The gravitational potential energy is due to the water overhead and the position of water inside the dam.
  • The height and quantity of water determines the magnitude of the gravitational potential energy.
  • Then, this energy is released when it falls on turbines and it drives them.
  • As the turbine moves, mechanical energy is produced.
  • The turbine is connected through a dynamo which produces a electric current by the turning action.
