In wind power which form of energy is converted into electrical energy?
- AKinetic energy
- BPotential energy
- CSolar energy
- DRadiant energy
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (a) Kinetic energy
Explanation
In wind power the kinetic energy of moving air is harnessed by wind turbines.
The turbine converts this kinetic energy into mechanical energy, which a generator then turns into electrical energy.
Wind energy is a renewable source; solar, radiant and potential energy are not the form being converted here.
