(a) conversion of mechanical energy of wind into kinetic energy
(b) conversion of the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy
(c) conversion of mechanical energy of wind into potential energy
(d) conversion of the potential energy of wind into mechanical energy
Correct Answer: Option (b)
Q6) Why is biogas considered a ‘good’ source of energy?
(a) as it produces ashes
(b) as it produces methane
(c) as it burns without releasing smoke
(d) as it decomposes in the absence of oxygen
Correct Answer: Option (c)
Q7) Rajeev studies that due to gravitational pull, the level of water in the sea rises and falls.
With the advancement of technology, the generation of electricity has been made possible. This type of energy is known as tidal energy. Should tidal energy be considered a conventional or nonconventional source of energy?
(a) conventional, as it uses water as the source of energy
(b) non-conventional, as gravitational energy is converted to electrical energy
(c) conventional, as the resulting product is electricity which can be used as fuel
(d) non-conventional, as the extraction of this energy is possible with advances in technology
Correct Answer: Option (d)
Q8) A student studies that the efficiency of fuel can be increased using new technologies. How do increased efficiency benefit humans and the environment?
(a) production of fuel will increase
(b) cost of fuel production will decrease
(c) amount of fuel in reservoirs will increase
(d) pollution and consumption will decrease
Correct Answer: Option (d)
Q9) Thermal power plant is considered a bad source of energy. Why?
(a) as it uses very less amount of fossil fuels
(b) as the burning of fossil fuel releases harmful gases
(c) as electricity is harmful and pollutes the environment
(d) as thermal power plants produce less amount of electricity
Correct Answer: Option (b)
Q10) Rihaan can use any source of energy for cooking, but he wants to avoid the production of smoke from the source. Which of these sources should he use for cooking?
