What are the different ways of generating electricity?
assistant
1. Hydroelectric power is generated by harnessing the potential energy of moving water, either through a dam or using a natural river flow.
2. Solar power is generated by converting sunlight into electrical energy using photovoltaic cells.
3. Nuclear power is generated by nuclear fission reactions in which atoms split apart releasing energy that can be used to generate electricity.
4. Wind power is generated by capturing the kinetic energy from wind turbines and transforming it into electricity.
5. Geothermal power is generated by tapping into the thermal energy stored in the Earth’s crust.
