6.5.3

This picture shows a turbine generator used to produce electricity at a hydroelectric power plant. Which of the following statements explains how electricity is produced.

• Gravity pulls the water down. The water boils and the steam turns the generator.

• Gravity pulls the water. The moving water collides with the turbine and spins the generator.

• The friction of the moving water boils the water and the rising steam carries electricity.

• The water cools down the hot generator to allow it to work longer.
