Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What kind of energy is passed in wind?
A
Potential energy
B
Kinetic energy
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In modern wind turbines, wind rotates the rotor blades, which convert kinetic energy into rotational energy. This rotational energy is transferred by a shaft which to the generator, thereby producing electrical energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -This creates a convection current and thermal energy is transformed into kinetic mechanical energy in the form of moving air or wind. A wind turbine transforms the mechanical energy of wind into electrical energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water), or can be converted into electricity by a generator.

Detailed explanation-4: -Wind is the moving air in the Earth’s atmosphere. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by moving particles, therefore wind possess kinetic energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Wind power is a clean and renewable energy source. Wind turbines harness energy from the wind using mechanical power to spin a generator and create electricity. Not only is wind an abundant and inexhaustible resource, but it also provides electricity without burning any fuel or polluting the air.
