Question

A spinning turbine can generate electricity only in the form of a/an _______ current.

Of all the alternative energy technologies presented in this section, only solar panels produce a/an _______ current.

Answer 1

1. alternating

2. direct

3. The sun heats up the atmosphere as Earth spins, creating areas of high and low temperature. This temperature difference causes wind to start moving through convection, which can then drive a wind turbine to produce electricity.

Answer 2

The correct answer is - alternating and direct, in order.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternating current is is type of electric current that is characterized by the direction of the flow of electrons in continuously switches its directs in opposite manner at regular cycles. While direct current or DC is flow of the electrons that move from starting to end in one direction.

Spinning turbines always leads to the alternating electric current while only solar energy produces the direct current with the help of the solar panels.

Thus, the correct answer is - alternating and direct, in order.
