Question

Solve the following crossword puzzle:

a. Maximum energy generation in India is done using _____ energy.

b. _____ energy is a renewable source of energy.

c. Solar energy can be called _____ energy.

d. _____ energy of wind is used in windmills.

e. _____ energy of water in dams is used for generation of electricity.

Accepted Answer

a. Maximum energy generation in India is done using thermal energy. Thermal energy can be obtained in thermal power plants that use coal as a fuel to generate heat energy.

b. Renewable sources of energy are the sources that are naturally replenished. Their common examples are solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy, etc.

c. Solar energy can be called green energy. Solar energy is obtained from sunlight and does not cause any negative impact on the environment.

d. The kinetic energy in the wind is converted to kinetic energy in the wind turbine, which rotates and produces electricity in the generators.

e. The water stored in dams stores energy in the form of potential energy. When the water is released this energy is converted into kinetic energy of water that drives the turbine, hence generating electrical energy.
