The power generated in a windmill :

A

is more in rainy season since, damp air would mean more air mass hitting the blades

B

depends on the height of the tower

C

depends on wind velocity

D

can be increased by planting tall trees close to the tower

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Wind energy farms can be located only in vast open areas located in favourable wind conditions as the minimum velocity for a windmill to function is 11 km/h to 16 km/h and is called as cut-in speed. Thus, the power generated in a windmill depends on wind velocity.
