Question:

An electrostatic precipitator in a thermal power plant is not able to generate high voltage of several thousands. Write the ecological implication because of it.

Solution:

An electrostatic precipitator in a thermal power plant is not able to generate a high voltage of several thousand but it is useful to remove fine particles, like dust and smoke, from a flowing gas using the force of an induced electrostatic charge. The charge field attracts the dust particles and helps in the purification of air.
