Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Which of the following are non conventional energy resource?

A
Solar energy

B
Bio-gas

C
Wind energy

D
All of the above

Solution

Renewable energy sources like solar energy, wind, tide, biomass and energy from waste material. These are called nonconventional energy sources. India is blessed with an abundance of sunlight, water, wind and biomass.
Question 2
1 / -0

The plants which use cattle dung are called ________.

A
Thermal Power Plant

B
Gobar Gas Plant

C
Geothermal Plant

D
Compost Plant

Solution

Gobar Gas plant,
Organic input materials such as foodstuff remnants, fats or sludge can be fed into the biogas plant, the substrate is decomposed by the micro organisms under exclusion of light and oxygen. The final product of this fermentation process is biogas with methane as the main ingredient. But aggressive hydrogen sulphide is also contained in the biogas.

The residues can be utilised as high quality fertiliser.
The biogas generated is stored in the roof of the tank and from there it
is burned in the combined heat and power plant (CHP) to generate electricity and heat. The heat generated can be utilized to heat building or to dry wood or harvest products.
Question 3
1 / -0

What is the share of thermal electricity in the total production of electricity in India?

A
90%

B
80%

C
70%

D
40%

Solution
Question 4
1 / -0

Thermal power plants are generally setup near the _______.

A
Coal- field

B
Gas- field

C
Solar park

D
Oil- field

Solution

Thermal power plants required coal and oil, which they burn to generate the required power. Since transmission of electricity is more efficient than transporting coal or oil over the same distance, So thermal power plants are generally located near coal fields.
Question 5
1 / -0

The production of ________ doesn't involve combustion.

A
Tidal electricity

B
Wind electricity

C
Hydro electricity

D
All of the above

Solution

Tidal power or tidal energy is obtained by converting energy from tides into useful forms of power, mainly electricity using various methods.
Wind power or wind energy is the use of wind to provide the mechanical power through wind turbines to turn electric generators and traditionally to do other work, like milling or pumping.
Hyroelectricity, is a form of energy that harnesses the power of water in motion—such as water flowing over a waterfall—to generate electricity.
The correct answer is D.
Question 6
1 / -0

Thermal electricity is obtained by using _______.

A
Coal

B
Petroleum

C
Natural Gas

D
All of the above

Solution

Thermal electricity is generated by using coal, petroleum and natural gas. The thermal power stations use non-renewable fossil fuels for generating electricity.
Question 7
1 / -0

For the production of hydro- electricity water must fall from a _______.

A
Greater height

B
Lesser height

C
Both A and B

D
Neither A nor B

Solution

Hydroelectricity is electricity made by generators that are pushed by movement of water which falls from greater height. It is usually made with dams that block a river to make a reservoir or collect water that is pumped there. When the water is released, the pressure behind the dam forces the water down pipes that lead to a turbine. This causes the turbine to turn, which turns a generator which makes electricity.
Question 8
1 / -0

Hydroelectricity is known as ________.

A
Black Coal

B
Blue Coal

C
Green Coal

D
White Coal

Solution

The term white coal was used for Hydroelectricity, particularly in Europe, because of its capability to produce more energy than any other source except coal. The term was coined by a French Engineer Aristide Bèrges.
The correct answer is D.
Question 9
1 / -0

Which of the following is true regarding hydroelectricity?

A
It is smokeless and pollution- free.

B
It is inexhaustible energy resource

C
Both A and B

D
Neither A nor B

Solution

Hydro electricity is generated by fast flowing water, which is a renewable resource. It is non-polluted energy.
Question 10
1 / -0

Which is the first thermal power station of Gujarat?

A
Kandla

B
Dhuvaran

C
Wanakbori

D
Panandhro

Solution

Dhuvaran Thermal Power Station is an Oil and Gas power plant located at Khambhat in Anand district, Gujarat. The power plant is under ownership of state owned Gujarat state Electricity limited.This was the first power plant of Gujarat Electricity Board, the parent company of Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited.
