Electricity is distributed from wind turbines to homes and industry. Statements A–F describe the main stages in the transfer of energy from the Sun to electrical energy in a wind turbine generator. The statements A–F are not in the correct order. A Air moves from regions of high pressure to regions of low pressure. B The turbine blades turn a generator. C Energy from the Sun heats the atmosphere unevenly. D Uneven heating of the atmosphere produces regions of different atmospheric pressure. E The generator produces electrical energy. F Moving air turns the turbine blades. Complete the flow chart to describe how a wind turbine uses energy from the Sun to generate electrical energy. Insert the missing letters in the empty boxes. D A State two disadvantages, apart from cost, of using wind turbines to produce electrical energy for homes and industry.

A student uses an electric motor to lift a load. shows the arrangement. cable to power supply motor motor shaft bench string load (not to scale) The motor exerts a force of 25 N on the load. It lifts the load a vertical distance of 2.0 m. Calculate the work done by the motor on the load. work done on the load = J State the useful energy output of the electric motor when it lifts the load 2.0 m. useful energy output = J The useful energy output of the motor is less than the energy input to the motor. Explain why the useful energy output is less than the energy input. The student uses the motor to lift a different load. The motor does 80 J of work when it lifts this load. It takes 5.0 s to lift the load. Calculate the power output of the electric motor. power output = W
