Renewable source of energy is ______ .

  1. coal

  2. fossil fuel

  3. natural gas

  4. Sun


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human time scale such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat. Hence, Sun is naturally coming and can be used in the form of solar energy, to evaporate water which turns into rain and rains are useful in many uses. Ultimately, Sun is the renewable source of energy.

Select the renewable and non-renewable sources of energy from the following:
(a) Coal
(b) Wood
(c) Water
(d) Diesel
(e) Wind
(f) Oil

  1. Renewable-(b), (c) and (e) and Non-renewable-(a), (d) and (f)

  2. Renewable-(a), (d) and (f) and Non-renewable-(b), (c) and (e)

  3. Renewable-(a), (d) and (e) and Non-renewable-(b), (c) and (f)

  4. Renewable-(a), (c) and (e) and Non-renewable-(b), (d) and (f)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Renewable- (b), (c) and (e); Non-renewable- (a), (d) and (f).
Here once petrol,diesel, coal and oil are consumed, for example in our vehicle, it cannot come back and renew to some other thing where as in wood, wind and water once we use it for some purpose we can use it for some other thing again like if wood is used in making bed then again we can make it back to wood or some other thing. Hence, these are renewable sources.

The source of renewable energy is :

  1. Petroleum

  2. Coal

  3. Uranium

  4. Tree


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Unlike fossil fuels, trees are eternal sources of energy for animals. They absorb sunlight directly from the environment and keep on producing food for others as long as they exist.

Select the renewable and non-renewable sources of energy from the following:
(a) Coal
(b) Wood
(c) Water
(d) Diesel
(e) Wind
(f) Oil

  1. Renewable-(a), (d) and (f) and Non-renewable-(b), (c) and (e)

  2. Renewable-(b),(c) and (e) and Non-renewable-(a), (d) and (f)

  3. Renewable-(a), (c) and (e) and Non-renewable-(b), (d) and (f)

  4. Renewable-(b), (d) and (e) and Non-renewable-(a), (c) and (f)


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Renewable-(b), (c) and (e); Non-renewable-(a), (d) and (f).
Here once petrol, diesel, coal and oil are consumed, for example in our vehicle, it cannot come back and renew to some other thing whereas in wood, wind and water once we use it for some purpose we can use it for some other thing again like if wood is used in making bed then again we can make it back to wood or some other thing. Hence, these are renewable sources.

In a thermoelectric station the energy Which changes into electric energy is :

  1. chemical energy

  2. potential energy

  3. nuclear energy

  4. heat energy


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Answer is D.

The heat produced by either steam or coal is converted in to electrical energy. Thus, in a thermal power station, heat energy is converted to electrical energy.

In India, a nuclear power plant is located in 

  1. Rampur

  2. Tarapur

  3. Sahranpur

  4. Kanpur


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Nuclear power plants in India are: 
1. Rawatbhata, Rajasthan
2. Tarapur, Maharashtra
3. Kaiga, Karnataka
4. Kudankulam, Tamil Nadu
5. Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu
6. Kakrapar, Gujarat
7. Narora, Uttar Pradesh

The heat energy produced in the nuclear fission reactions can be used to produce

  1. Solar energy

  2. Electricity

  3. Nuclear energy

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B

Which is used as 'coolants' in a nuclear power station?

  1. water and nitrogen

  2. liquid sodium and carbon dioxide

  3. liquid ammonia and carbon monoxide

  4. heavy water and uranium oxide


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Coolant is used to remove the heat produced from the reactor core. This heat is then transferred to the electrical generators or the environment. Water, liquid sodium, helium and carbon dioxide are most commonly used coolants.

Which of the following will produce more energy in a short time?

  1. controlled nuclear fission

  2. uncontrolled nuclear fission

  3. uncontrolled nuclear fussion

  4. controlled nuclear fussion
