Question

What is windmill? State the energy conversion taking place in the working of a windmill.

Answer 1

Wind mill is the machine which produce electricity. In windmill , there is many fan arms are present.
It converts kinetic energy of air into electrical energy.
So, it follow the law of conservation of energy.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Windmill converts the kinetic energy from the wind to electrical energy.

As the wind blows it rotates the blades of the windmill.

As the windmill rotates some of the kinetic energy of the wind is converted to mechanical energy by the rotating blades.

The mechanical energy is otherwise known as rotational energy.

The mechanical energy is then converted to electrical energy.

We can summarize this as follows :

Kinetic energy — Mechanical energy — Electrical energy
