O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/12/O/N/20
Question 35 from 5054/12/O/N/20

Explanation

Energy Conversion in Devices Steps:

  • Identify kinetic energy as energy of motion, like wind or moving parts.
  • Determine which device uses motion to generate electricity via electromagnetic induction.
  • Eliminate options that produce or consume energy differently.
  • Select the device that directly converts mechanical motion to electrical current.

Why D is correct:

  • A wind turbine uses the kinetic energy of wind to spin blades, driving a generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy through Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A. A car battery stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy, not kinetic.
  • B. An electric fire converts electrical energy to heat energy via resistance.
  • C. An electric motor converts electrical energy to kinetic energy.

Final answer: D

Topic: The a.c. generator
