Question

What is the role of a turbine in an electric generator? Question 1 options: It stores energy for later use. It releases chemical energy. It transfers electrical energy. It provides mechanical energy.

Answer 1

Answer:

IT PROVIDES MECHANICAL ENERGY

Explanation:

Turbine is a rotatatory device that provides energy from a working fluid and converts it into mechanical energy useful for the generation of electrical energy when combine with an alternator or generator.

It is used in the production of electricity. It begins from the action of a Reactor which provides energy from large radio-active isotopes as they undergo nuclear fission. The energy produced by the Reactor is used to rotate the turbine which provides the mechanical energy needed to transfer energy from a working fluid to the generator. The generator then provides the electrical energy for transmission.
