    (a) methane
    (b) carbon dioxide
    (c) hydrogen
    (d) hydrogen sulphide
  11. The power generated in a windmill

    (b) depends on the height of the tower
    (c) depends on wind velocity
    (d) can be increased by planting tall trees close to the tower
  12. Choose the correct statement

    (b) There is infinite storage of fossil fuel inside the earth
    (c) Hydro and wind energy plants are non polluting sources of energy
    (d) Waste from a nuclear power plant can be easily disposed off
  13. In a hydroelectric power plant more electrical power can be generated if water falls from a greater height because
    (a) its temperature increases
    (b) larger amount of potential energy is converted into kinetic energy
    (c) the electricity content of water increases with height
    (d) more water molecules dissociate into ions
  14. Choose the incorrect statement regarding wind power
    (a) It is expected to harness wind power to minimum in open space
    (b) The potential energy content of wind blowing at high altitudes is the source of wind power
    (c) Wind hitting at the blades of a windmill causes them to rotate. The rotation thus achieved can be
    utilised further
    (d) One possible method of utilising the energy of rotational motion of the blades of a windmill is to run the turbine of an electric generator
  15. Choose the incorrect statement
    (a) We are encouraged to plant more trees so as to ensure clean environment and also provide bio-mass
    fuel
    (b) Gobar-gas is produced when crops, vegetable wastes etc., ecompose in the absence of oxygen
    (c) The main ingredient of bio-gas is ethane and it gives a lot of smoke and also produces a lot of residual
    ash
