Answer:

Gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

Hydroelectric dams are the power plants which generates electricity by using the energy of falling water from a great height.

A the water is stored in big reservoirs and at a great height, it contain lot of potential energy due to the height. As it falls downwards, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy of the water. this kinetic energy of the falling water is used to run the turbine, and then the electric energy is generated.

So, in hydroelectric power stations, the potential energy of water is converted into the electric energy.

Answer:

5773.50269 Hz

23 A

Explanation:

$L$ = Inductance = 6 mH

$C$ = Capacitance = 5 μF

$R$ = Resistance = 3 Ω

$\epsilon$ = Maximum emf = 69 V

Resonant angular frequency is given by

$\omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{6\times 10^{-3}\times 5\times 10^{-6}}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=5773.50269\ Hz$

The resonant angular frequency is 5773.50269 Hz

Current is given by

$I=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{69}{3}\\\Rightarrow I=23\ A$

The current amplitude at the resonant angular frequency is 23 A

Answer

Around 400 B.C.E, the Greek philosopher Democritus introduced the idea of the atom as the basic building block matter. Democritus though that atoms are tiny, uncuttable, solid particles that are surrounded by empty space and constantly moving at random.
