Neodymium and dysprosium, two critical minerals, are mainly used in:
- Afuel rods for nuclear reactors
- Bmagnets for wind turbines and electric motors
- Cthin-film solar cells
- Danodes of lithium-ion batteries
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (b) magnets for wind turbines and electric motors
Explanation
Neodymium and dysprosium make strong permanent magnets for wind turbines and EV motors. Silicon, tellurium, indium and gallium go into solar cells.
