Question

Sort the following process in the correct order for windmill.

• A. Rotation of blades
• B. Electrical energy produced
• C. Turbine rotates
• D. Blowing of wind

Answer 1

Windmill converts wind energy into electrical energy.
The process to generate electricity is as follows:

1. Wind energy to mechanical energy: The air hits the blades and the blades start to rotate.
2. Mechanical energy is transferred to the turbine: The mechanical energy is transferred to the turbine through the rotating shaft. Turbine starts to rotate.
3. Mechanical energy into electrical energy: The generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
