उत्तर
The wind is used to produce electricity. When the wind blows, it turns the three large blades of the windmill, which are attached to the turbine. The turbine, which is connected to the generator, converts the energy of the wind into electrical energy.
Wind, like the sun, is nature’s gift to the earth. It is free and widely available.
