Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydroelectric dams and coal-fired power plants both use turbines that are turned by a medium - water in the case of hydroelectric dams and steam in the case of coal-fired power plants. Both use the kinetic energy of the medium to turn the turbines, which then generates electricity. However, options B, C, and D are not accurate as they only apply to coal-fired power plants and not to hydroelectric dams. Option E is incorrect as it includes options B, C, and D, which are not accurate for hydroelectric dams.
