Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A device that converts kinetic energy of the wind to mechanical power.
A
Rotor
B
Motor
C
Blades
D
NOTA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A wind turbine turns wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic force from the rotor blades, which work like an airplane wing or helicopter rotor blade.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Hydroelectric turbines use the force of moving water to spin turbine blades to power a generator. Most hydroelectric power plants use water stored in a reservoir or diverted from a river or stream.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. Wind power has grown rapidly since 2000, driven by R&D, supportive policies and falling costs.
