A dam generating electricity from water flowing downhill is an example of how systems

take advantage of energy flowing from low to high

take advantage of energy flowing from high to low

violate the second law of thermodynamics

The generation of electricity is done through the concert of energy conversion. A dam generating electricity from water flowing downhill is an example of how systems take advantage of energy flowing from high to low. Turbines play a huge part in generating electric power after the water passes through the spinning turbines and this water is left back to the river.
