Difference between Dam and Potential energy

Dam vs. Potential energy

A dam is a barrier that stops or restricts the flow of water or underground streams. In physics, potential energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.

Similarities between Dam and Potential energy

Dam and Potential energy have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Dinorwig Power Station, Fossil fuel, Potential energy, Pumped-storage hydroelectricity, William John Macquorn Rankine.

Dinorwig Power Station

The Dinorwig Power Station is a pumped-storage hydroelectric scheme, near Dinorwig, Llanberis in Snowdonia national park in Gwynedd, north Wales.
