In a hydroelectric plant, falling water exerts a torque on a water wheel, causing it to spin. The water wheel's shaft is attached to a conductive loop of wire suspended inside an external magnetic field, which rotates with the water wheel (see the image attached). Unlike the one-direction direct currents (DC), the electric currents generated by the spinning water wheel will be an alternating (AC) current that periodically reverses direction. Citing any relevant physical laws, explain (in detail) how the hydroelectric plant generates electricity and why the current will cycle through two opposing directions

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?
