Question

Choose the incorrect statement regarding wind power

Options

• It is expected to harness wind power to minimum in open space

• The potential energy content of wind blowing at high altitudes is the source of wind power

• Wind hitting at the blades of a windmill causes them to rotate The rotation thus achieved can be utilised further

• 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

Answer 1

The potential energy content of wind blowing at high altitudes is the source of wind power

Explanation - 

The high speed or kinetic energy content of wind blowing at high altitudes is the source of wind power. It is not the potential energy.
