BSE UNIT 2 LESSON 3 electricity generated BY hydro scheme

How is electricity generated according to the hydro scheme illustrated in the image?

• By heating water to produce steam

• By moving a conductor through a magnetic field using forces such as water

• By using solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity

• By burning fossil fuels to turn a turbine

Which of the following are considered fossil fuels?

• Solar, wind, water

• Oil, gas, coal

• Biomass, geothermal, hydroelectric

• Tidal, wave, nuclear

Why is nuclear power considered controversial?

• It is not a reliable source of energy

• It is too expensive to harness

• Radioactivity remains active for hundreds of years

• It is a renewable source of energy

Which of the following is NOT a form of renewable energy?

• Solar

• Coal

• Wind

• Water

What do coal-fired power stations use to turn water into steam which then drives a turbine?

• Oil

• Gas

• Coal

• Nuclear fusion

What is the primary process that nuclear power relies on to generate electricity?

• Combustion

• Fusion

• Photovoltaic conversion

• Wind power

Which type of power generation uses wind farms to produce 'clean' energy by turning a turbine with the power of the wind?

• Coal

• Oil and gas

• Nuclear power

• Renewable generation

Oil and gas power stations generate electricity by producing heat on:

• Cooling

• Burning

• Fission

• Photosynthesis

What is the function of the cooling tower in a power generation system?

• To heat up the water before it enters the boiler

• To convert water into steam for the turbine

• To cool down the water that has been heated by the steam condenser

• To generate electricity from steam

Where is the generator located in the steam power plant system schematic?

• Next to the cooling tower

• Before the HP turbine

• Between the IP turbine and the LP turbine

• After the steam condenser
