Question

Which one among the following is NOT a source of renewable energy ?
1. Hydroelectricity
2. Solar energy
3. Fuel cell
4. Wind energy

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Fuel cell

The correct answer is the Fuel cell.

• Renewable energy is that energy that depends on natural sources.

• It includes solar energy, geothermal energy, wind, tidal, water, and various types of biomass.
• It can never be finished and can be constantly renewed.
• Types of energy are solar energy, Hydro energy, wind energy, Bio Gas, Biomass.
• Fuel energy is received from non-renewable sources like the burning of coal and petroleum.

• Hydroelectric power (hydro) is classed as renewable energy due to the fact that it relies on the Earth's natural water cycle's kinetic energy to generate electricity.
•  The damming of water is one of the oldest forms of renewable energy harnessed by mankind. 
• The energy from the Sun and subsequently converting it into electricity is known as Solar Energy.
• Wind power or wind energy describes the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity.
• This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or can be converted into electricity by a generator.
