Question
electricity moves from the power plant to the grid. within a power plant, the turbine uses what type of energy?
potential energy
mechanical energy
Brief Explanations
In power plants, turbines are driven by the motion of fluids (like steam or water) which is mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is converted into rotational motion to spin the turbine, which then drives a generator to produce electricity. Potential energy is stored energy and not the type the turbine uses to operate.
