The diagram above shows a wind turbine. What steps are involved in a wind turbine producing electricity?
A) Wind's kinetic energy rotates a turbine, spinning a generator that produces
electricity
B) Wind's kinetic energy rotates a turbine, producing electrical energy in the
form or a generator.
C) Wind's kinetic energy rotates a turbine, producing mechanical energy. This
rotation turns an internal shaft connected to a gearbox, which increases the speed of rotation, spinning a generator that produces electricity.
D) Wind's potential energy rotates a turbine, producing kinetic energy. This rotation turns an internal shaft connected to a gearbox, which increases the speed of rotation, spinning a generator that produces mechanical
energy
ANSWER: C
