Question

Which shows the correct order of steps when using wind to generate electricity?

wind turbine blades turn generator → generator changes kinetic energy to electricity → kinetic energy from wind turns blades on wind turbine

kinetic energy from wind turns blades on wind turbine → wind turbine blades turn generator → generator changes kinetic energy to electricity

kinetic energy from wind turns blades on wind turbine → generator changes kinetic energy to electricity → wind turbine blades turn generator

wind turbine blades turn generator → kinetic energy from wind turns blades on wind turbine → generator changes kinetic energy to electricity

Answer 1

kinetic energy from wind turns blades on wind turbine → wind turbine blades turn generator → generator changes kinetic energy to electricity

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of steps in the energy conversion during the production of electricity from wind turbine are as follows:

1. First of all, the wind transmits its kinetic energy to the turbine blades by striking the blade.

2. The turbine blades are connected to a generator. The kinetic energy of the turbine blades is utilized to turn the generator shaft.

3. The generator then converts the kinetic energy of the blades into electricity.

Hence, the correct option is:

kinetic energy from wind turns blades on wind turbine → wind turbine blades turn generator → generator changes kinetic energy to electricity
