The correct Answer is:
To determine the sequence of energy conversion in a windmill, we can break down the process into clear steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Wind Energy**: The process begins with wind energy. When the wind blows, it carries kinetic energy. 2. **Mechanical Energy**: As the wind moves, it causes the blades of the windmill to rotate. This rotation converts the wind energy into mechanical energy (also referred to as rotational energy). 3. **Electrical Energy**: The mechanical energy generated by the rotation of the windmill blades is then converted into electrical energy through a generator connected to the windmill. ### Final Sequence: Thus, the correct sequence of energy conversion in a windmill is: - **Wind Energy → Mechanical Energy → Electrical Energy** ### Answer: The correct option is that wind energy is converted first into mechanical energy, then into electrical energy. ---
