18. In hydel power station, the motion produced in turbines is due to [S.S.C. Online Graduate Level (T-I) 10.09.2016 (Shift-III)]

(a) Flow of water
(b) Burning of coal
(c) Burning of diesel
(d) Production of steam

Correct Answer: (a) Flow of water

Solution:The turbine in a hydroelectric station is driven by the flow of water. When water is dropped from a height, the water exerts pressure on the turbine fans, causing them to move. In this process, electricity is produced. Dams are built to make the water fall from a height.
