Part – II: Short type questions and answers :
1. Classify the types of the energy available on the earth?
Energy can be classified into several types based on the following criteria as :
** Primary and Secondary energy
** Commercial and Non commercial energy
** Renewable and Non-Renewable energy
2. Briefly mention about primary sources of energy?
Primary energy sources are those that are either found or stored in nature. Common primary energy sources are coal, oil, natural gas and biomass. Other primary energy sources found on earth include nuclear energy from radioactive substances, thermal energy stored in earth’s interior and potential energy due to earth’s gravity.
3. What is renewable energy and list at least three renewable energy sources?
Renewable energy is the energy obtained from sources that are essentially inexhaustible but has limited potential for exploitation. Examples of renewable resources include wind power, solar power, geothermal energy, tidal power and hydro electric.
4. Name the five states in India, where coal production is concentrated.
Coal production is concentrated in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Jharkhand and West Bengal
5. Define Reserve to ‘Production Ratio’?
It is the ratio of fuel reserves remaining at the end of the year to the production in that year.
6. How do you define ‘Final Energy Consumption’?
Final energy consumption is the actual energy demand at the user end. This is the difference between primary energy consumption and the losses that takes place in transport, transmission, distribution and refinement.
7. Why developed countries have been able to maintain low ratio of energy to GDP?
This is because they have been able to focus on two important issues like, energy efficiency and lower energy intensity routes.
8. What is Energy intensity and what it indicates?
Energy intensity is energy consumed per unit of GDP and it indicates the development stage of that country.
9. Mention the parameters on which the high tension and low tension consumers are charged by electricity boards.
Generally, high tension consumers are charged based on both demand (kVA) and energy (kWh) while the low tension consumers are charged based on only energy consumed (kWh).
10. What is main objective of Electricity Act, 2003?
The main objective of Electricity Act, 2003 is to create liberal framework of development for the power sector by distancing Government from regulation.
11. List down the major sources of pollutants in Air?
The major sources of pollutants in Air are fuel combustion in transport, industry, forest fires, and solid waste disposal.
12. What is greenhouse gas effect?
The heating up of earth’s atmosphere due to trapping of long wavelength infrared rays by the carbon di- oxide layer in the atmosphere is called green house effect.
13. What are the key greenhouse gases driving global warming?
Carbon-dioxide, CFC, methane, Ozone, Nitrous oxide etc.
14. What are the two major anthropogenic causes for the generation of Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
1. Combustion of fossil fuels 2. Changes in land use
