A wind generator uses wind to make electrical current. How does the amount of energy in the electrical current compare to the amount of wind energy that turns the blades on the wind generator?

There is less energy in the electric current because some heat is produced in the change.

There is less energy in the electric current because wind does not blow with a constant force.

There is more energy in the electric current because electrical energy can be stored in batteries.

There is more energy in the electric current because there is more than one blade on the generator.

A small town uses the system shown to supply energy to homes. The system pumps water into rocks underground. As the water exits the ground, steam is formed in the pipe.

Thermal → Mechanical → Electrical

Mechanical → Electrical → Thermal

Solar → Thermal → Electrical

Electrical → Thermal → Solar
