Answer:

electricity will not be created

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydroelectric dams operate through large turbines that spin due to the force of the water. Water passes through pipes that are interconnected to the turbines, making them spin. Each turbine is coupled to a piece of equipment called a generator, thus forming the generating unit that transforms the mechanical energy, the movement of the turbine blades, into electrical energy.

In this case, if the shaft connecting the turbine to the generator has become inoperable, the entire power generation process will be interrupted, as a result electricity will not be created.
