Question

In a wind mill the electric energy is converted into mechanical energy.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Ambiguous
• D. Data insufficient

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The answer is B.
Windmills, like waterwheels, were among the original prime movers that replaced animal muscle as a source of power. They are used for centuries in various parts of the world, converting the energy of the wind into mechanical energy for grinding grain, pumping water, and draining lowland areas.
The kinetic energy of the wind is transformed into the mechanical energy of the turning windmill. This can be used to turn the coil of a generator to generate electricity. The original energy to cause the wind to blow came from the sun. Uneven heating of the earth's surface causes wind.

So basically, a windmill generates electrical energy from mechanical energy, not the other way round.
Hence, the statement is false.
