Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the wind encounters the wind turbine blades, it transfers some of its kinetic energy to them, causing the blades to rotate and thereby generating energy. This transfer of energy causes the wind speed on the downside of the blades to be slowed down as compared to the speed of the wind before it encountered the blades. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
