Question
Explain how tidal energy can be used to generate electricity.
✓
Answer
During high tide, when the level of water in the sea is high, sea-water flows into the reservoir of the barrage and turns the turbines. The turbines then turn the generator to produce the electricity. And during the low tide, when the level of sea-water is low, the sea-water stored in the barrage reservoir is allowed to flow out into the sea. This flowing water also turns the turbines and generates electricity.Need a full question paper?

→Take three ring shaped magnets, insulated copper wire (1.5m) battery and paper clips. Cut the wire into three pieces. One piece should be about 1m long and the other two 0.25m long each. Take 1m piece of wire and wrap this wire around two fingers to form a coil. Take the loose end of this wire and wrap it once along the diameter of the coil. The two arms of the coil should be directly opposite each other. Bend the paper clip and prepare a holder for the coil. Pile the three magnets on the table. Place the coil above the magnet on the paper clip holder. Take free ends of the wire and connect them to the battery as shown in the figure 5.17. Give a single spin to the coil
