AI Thread Summary
Large-scale power stations face several significant problems, primarily related to environmental concerns and engineering challenges. Environmental issues include habitat disruption, water usage, and emissions, which can impact local ecosystems. Engineering challenges vary by power plant type, such as the structural integrity of hydroelectric dams or the efficiency of fossil fuel plants. Resources like Wikipedia provide detailed information on specific power generation methods and their associated issues. Understanding these problems is crucial for addressing the broader implications of energy production.

I got this question asking what's a few problems associated with large scaled power stations...!
It's no where to be found in my textbook, PLEASE HELP..

Thanks

How are we supposed to be able to help if we don't know the question?
 
the question is in what i wrote brother. What is the problems within large power stations! Thanks xanthym for the link.
 
Ah, now I see. It still seems a bit vague, though.
If it was just environmental concerns, Xanthym's link pretty much explains it. For engineering issues you may want to look for Wikipedia articles on the specific kind of powerplant, Hydroelectric dam, for instance (common in Norway, I travel by two plants on my way to school!)
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
