In a hydroelectric power plant, more electrical power can be generated if waterfalls from a greater height because

(a) its temperature increases

(b) larger amount of potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

(c) the electricity content of water increases with height

(d) more water molecules dissociate into ions

Answer: (b) larger amount of potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

Reason: Larger amount of potential energy is converted into kinetic energy in the hydroelectric power plant which can generate more amount of electrical power.
