• 1. 
    The power generated in a windmill

  • is more in rainy season since damp air would mean more air mass hitting the blades
  • depends on the height of the tower
  • depends on wind velocity
  • can be increased by planting tall trees close to the tower
  • 2. 
    Choose the correct statement.

  • Sun is considered as an inexhaustible source of energy
  • There is infinite storage of fossil fuel inside the Earth
  • Hydro and wind energy plants are non polluting sources of energy
  • Waste from a nuclear power plant can be easily disposed off
  • 3. 
    In a hydroelectric power plant more electrical power can be generated if water falls from a greater height because

  • its temperature increases
  • larger amount of potential energy is converted into kinetic energy
  • the electricity content of water increases with height
  • more water molecules dissociate into ions
  • 4. 
    Choose the incorrect statement regarding wind power.

  • It is expected to harness wind power to minimum in open space.
  • The potential energy content of wind blowing at high altitudes is the source of wind power.
  • Wind hitting the blades of a windmill causes them to rotate. The rotation thus achieved can be utilised further.
  • One possible method of utilising the energy of rotational motion of the blades of a windmill is to run the turbine of an electric generator.
  • 5. 
    Choose the incorrect statement.

  • We are encouraged to plant more trees so as to ensure clean environment and also provide biomass fuel.
  • Gobar gas is produced when crops, vegetable wastes, etc. , decompose in the absence of oxygen.
  • The main ingredient of biogas is ethane and it gives a lot of smoke and also produces a lot of residual ash.
  • Biomass is a renewable source of energy.
