In a hydroelectric power plant more electrical power can be generated if water falls from a greater height because

A hydroelectric dam or simply dam is a barrier across flowing water in order to create a reservoir, to conserve water as well as use it for other industrial as well...

An hydroelectric dam collects water in an impoundment. The falling water falls on the turbines with great force and rotates it to convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy.

(a) tallness is the dominant trait

(b) depends on the height of the tower

Agricultural fields like wheat field / paddy field which are also examples of monoculture practices

Height of water pressure head, h = 300 m  Volume of water flow per second, V = 100 m3/s Efficiency of turbine generator, n = 60% = 0.6 Acceleration due to gravity, g...

(B) Shivasamudram Shivasamudram holds the distinction of being the site of India's first hydro-electric power station which was built in 1902. It was set up mainly to supply power to the...

Importance: Hydro power plants are of prime importance as about 25 per cent of our energy requirement in India is met by hydro Power Plants. (i) A high rise dam is...

A body is said to have power of 1 watt if it does work at the rate of 1 joule in 1 s,  i.e.,  1W=1J/1s Power is given by the expression,  Power=Work done...
