MCQ

Solution

The source of electricity generated by large dams is Stored falling water.

Explanation:

Large dams store water in reservoirs created by the dam structure. When this stored water is released, it flows downhill under the force of gravity. This flowing water turns turbines, which are connected to generators. The generators then convert mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy, which is the source of electricity generated by large dams.
