Electricity

• Electricity is a force caused by electric charge. It is a form of energy which we use to power machines and electrical devices
• When the charges are not moving, electricity is called static electricity.
• When the charges are moving they are an electric current, sometimes called 'dynamic electricity'.

Hydro electricity

• Hydroelectricity is the term referring to electricity generated by hydropower; the production of electrical power through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water.
• India has a number of multi-purpose projects like the Bhakra Nangal, Damodar Valley corporation, the Kopili Hydel Project etc. producing hydroelectric power.

How is hydro electricity produced?

• A dam on a river to store water in a reservoir.
• Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity.
