A hydroelectric power plant is situated at the base of a large dam. Water flows into the intake near the bottom of the reservoir at a depth of 100 m. The water Hows through 10 turbine generators and exits the power plant 120 m below the top of the reservoir at a speed of about 10 m/s (at atmospheric pressure). The average volume flow rale of water through each generator is 100 m3/s. Each generator produces a peak voltage of 10 kV and operates with an energy efficiency of 80%. Estimate the maximum possible peak current that a single generator can supply.
