What is the energy transformation involved for a wind turbine?

Answer 1

Starting at the sun and going to the output electricity:

• Solar energy is produced by nuclear fusion (Nuclear fusion--> heat and electromagnetic energy)
• Solar energy warms the soil and air of the Earth (Radiant energy-->heat)
• Temperature differentials create wind. (thermal energy to molecular movement, molecular movement and gravity--> kinetic energy as air movement)
• Wind moves the blades of the turbine (kinetic energy-->kinetic energy)
• The spinning blades move magnets in a coil of wire (kinetic energy-->kinetic energy)
• A coil moving in a magnetic field creates electricity (magnetic energy-->electricity)

Answer 2

Is done through large inverters. Mostly the transfer is too small to be practical.

Answer 3

Kinetic energy is transfered to electric energy.

Answer 4

( Potential, Kinetic, Thermal) You would chose kinetic I hope this helps :)

Answer 5

The wind is actually gone into a turbine which is then made into lectriciy!

Answer 6

'THE POWER' is the wind thats has the ultimate pwer it is used to power everything but it can destroy the universe

Answer 7

WIND!
