Q: At a hydroelectric plant, a falling fluid turns a turbine. The moving turbine is used to run electric generators. Given this scenario, which of the following is true?
A		The magnitude of the electrical energy produced is equal to the magnitude of the gravitational potential energy released by the falling fluid.
B		The magnitude of the electrical energy produced is less than the magnitude of the gravitational potential energy released by the falling fluid.
C		The magnitude of the electrical energy produced is greater than the magnitude of the gravitational potential energy released by the falling fluid.
D		The answer cannot be determined from the given information.
