  1. Question 1

    Which sequence correctly describes electricity generation in a conventional fossil-fuel power station?

    • AChemical energy → heat energy → turbine kinetic energy → electrical energy
    • BElectrical energy → chemical energy → heat energy → turbine kinetic energy
    • CGravitational potential energy → nuclear energy → electrical energy
    • DSolar energy → elastic energy → electrical energy
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Burning fossil fuels releases chemical energy as heat; steam drives a turbine connected to a generator.

  2. Question 2

    In a hydroelectric power station, the stored water's gravitational potential energy is converted first mainly into:

    • AChemical energy
    • BKinetic energy
    • CNuclear energy
    • DElastic potential energy
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    Water stored at height gains kinetic energy as it flows downward and turns the turbine.

  3. Question 3

    Which pair consists entirely of renewable energy sources listed in the chapter?

    • ACoal and wind
    • BNuclear fuel and solar
    • CTidal and geothermal
    • DNatural gas and wave
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    Tidal and geothermal energy are listed as renewable sources.

  4. Question 4

    Which energy source is classified as non-renewable in the chapter despite being used to generate electricity with low direct carbon emissions during operation?

    • AWind
    • BNuclear fuel
    • CSolar
    • DTidal
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    The chapter classifies nuclear fuel as non-renewable.

  5. Question 5

    A photovoltaic cell produces electricity by converting:

    • ASunlight directly into electrical energy
    • BSunlight into steam before a turbine rotates
    • CChemical energy into nuclear energy
    • DElectrical energy into sunlight
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight directly into electrical energy.
