Question

I) Kinetic Energy

(high-pressure
steam)

II) Kinetic Energy
(spinning turbine)


III) Intranuclear Potential
Energy (uranium)


IV) Kinetic Energy
(electricity in
transmission lines)

V) Kinetic Energy
(generator)


In what order do these phases occur in the energy conversion of a nuclear power plant?

A. I, II, III, V, IV
B. I, III, II, V, IV
C. III, I, II, IV, V
D. III, I, II, V, IV

Answer 1

Answer: D

Explanation: In the energy conversion of a nuclear power plant, uranium acts as nuclear fuel, so, Intranuclear Potential Energy (uranium) is converted to thermal energy which is Kinetic Energy (high-pressure steam) which is converted to mechanical energy that is,

Kinetic Energy (spinning turbine) then to Kinetic Energy (generator) and finally Kinetic Energy (electricity in

transmission lines)

Therefore, the best option is D which is

D. III, I, II, V, IV
