    (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
