The missing terms in the table.
Answer to Problem 41R
The renewable energy source and their energy transformation is given in the table (1).
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The energy sources can be divided into two types on the basis of the duration in which these sources reproduced.
The energy sources that reproduces faster than use of the energy source is the renewable source and other type is the nonrenewable energy source. The hydroelectricity produces due to the conversion of the mechanical energy of the water into electrical energy. The
Table 1
Renewable Energy Source | Energy Transformation |
Hydroelectricity | Mechanical energy to electrical energy |
Solar | Radiant energy to electrical energy |
Wind | Mechanical energy to electrical energy |
Nuclear | Thermal energy to electrical energy |
Conclusion:
The renewable energy source and type of respective energy transformation for that energy source is given in Table 1.
