Test Your Knowledge On Wind Power Quiz - Quiz

This quiz is designed to test your knowledge of Wind Power.

Questions and Answers

1.

Who invented wind power?
- A.
  
  Nathan Moutia
- B.
  
  Leonardo Da Vinci
- C.
  
  James Blyth
- D.
  
  Thales of Militus
Correct Answer
C. James Blyth

Explanation
James Blyth is credited with inventing wind power. He built the first known wind turbine in 1887, which was used to generate electricity. Blyth's wind turbine was a milestone in harnessing wind energy for practical use, paving the way for the development of modern wind power technology.

Rate this question:
2.

When was wind power invented?
- A.
  
  1901
- B.
  
  1887
- C.
  
  1845
- D.
  
  1973
Correct Answer
B. 1887

Explanation
Wind power was invented in 1887. This means that the harnessing of wind energy to generate power began in that year.

Rate this question:
3.

Where is the best place for wind turbines?
- A.
  
  In the city
- B.
  
  Wind farms that are away from the city
- C.
  
  Hot islands
- D.
  
  At the beach
Correct Answer
B. Wind farms that are away from the city

Explanation
Wind farms that are away from the city are the best place for wind turbines because they are located in open areas with strong and consistent wind currents. Being away from the city reduces the potential for obstructions such as tall buildings and trees, allowing the turbines to capture more wind energy. Additionally, wind farms in rural areas have less noise and visual impact on the local population.

Rate this question:
4.

What do the wind turbines create?
- A.
  
  Electricity
- B.
  
  Water
- C.
  
  Oil
- D.
  
  Gas
Correct Answer
A. Electricity

Explanation
Wind turbines create electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy of the wind and converting it into electrical energy through the use of a generator. The spinning blades of the turbine turn the generator, which produces electricity. This electricity can then be used to power homes, businesses, and other electrical devices. Wind turbines are a renewable source of energy and help reduce dependence on fossil fuels, making them an important part of sustainable energy production.

Rate this question:
5.

How fast do wind turbines blow per hour?
- A.
  
  200 km per hour
- B.
  
  1 mile per hour
- C.
  
  14 miles per hour
- D.
  
  22 km per hour
Correct Answer
C. 14 miles per hour

Explanation
Wind turbines do not blow, they generate electricity by harnessing the power of wind. The speed at which wind turbines rotate depends on the wind speed, but it is not measured in terms of blowing per hour. Therefore, the given question is not clear and does not have a correct answer.
