Question

Which energy of the wind does a windmill use?

A.

Thermal energy

B.

Kinetic energy

C.

Heat energy

D.

Hydro energy

Correct option is B


Wind energy, a renewable resource, is harnessed through wind power to generate electricity. This process involves utilizing the kinetic energy inherent in the wind to propel wind turbines, which then transform this kinetic energy into mechanical energy. Subsequently, generators convert this mechanical energy into electricity, serving various purposes. The movement of wind is influenced by factors such as variations in the Earth's surfaces, solar heating of the atmosphere, and the rotation of the Earth.
