12. Which of the following is a renewable source of energy?
Solar power is a renewable source of energy that comes from the sun. It is a clean and sustainable energy source that does not produce harmful emissions like coal or natural gas.
13. Why is it important to unplug devices like phone chargers when not in use?
Unplugging devices like phone chargers when not in use can help conserve energy and reduce carbon footprint. Even when not in use, chargers still draw power from the socket, contributing to energy waste.
14. Which of the following is an example of energy waste?
Leaving the TV on when nobody is watching is an example of energy waste as it consumes electricity unnecessarily. It is important to turn off electronic devices when not in use to save energy.
15. What can be done to save energy while using a computer?
Turning off the monitor when not in use can help save energy while using a computer. Leaving the computer on all day, having multiple screens running simultaneously, and keeping the computer plugged in at all times can waste energy.
16. What is the benefit of using public transportation instead of driving a car?
Using public transportation instead of driving a car can help reduce carbon emissions and pollution. It can also help decrease traffic congestion and save money on gas.
17. Why is it important to plant trees and create green spaces in urban areas?
Planting trees and creating green spaces in urban areas can help reduce carbon dioxide levels by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. This can improve air quality and provide habitats for wildlife.
18. Which of the following is a way to save energy in the kitchen?
Using a microwave instead of a stovetop can help save energy in the kitchen. Cooking with the oven door open, keeping the fridge door open unnecessarily, and leaving the stove on after cooking are all examples of energy waste.
19. What can be done to save energy while doing laundry?
Running the washing machine at full capacity can help save energy while doing laundry. Using hot water for all wash cycles, removing clothes from the dryer before they are fully dry, and leaving the washing machine on when not in use can lead to energy waste.
20. How can using natural lighting in your home help save energy?
Using natural lighting in your home by opening curtains and blinds can help save energy by reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. It is important to use energy-efficient light bulbs as well to further save energy.
21. What should you do after leaving a room to save energy?
Turning off the lights when leaving a room helps save energy by reducing electricity consumption.
22. Which of the following appliances uses the most energy?
Refrigerators use a lot of energy to keep food cold all the time, making them one of the biggest energy consumers in households.
23. What should you do in the morning to save energy?
Unplugging devices like chargers and electronics when not in use helps save energy and reduce electricity wastage.
24. What is the best way to dry clothes to save energy?
Using a dryer machine consumes a lot of electricity, hanging clothes outside is a more energy-efficient way to dry clothes.
25. Which direction should ceiling fans rotate during summer to save energy?
Ceiling fans should rotate counter-clockwise during summer to create a wind-chill effect and make you feel cooler without using more electricity.
26. What should you do to conserve energy during the day?
Closing doors of unused rooms helps contain heat or cool air in the areas you are using, reducing the need to use more energy to maintain a comfortable temperature.
27. Which of the following is an energy-efficient way to travel short distances?
Walking or cycling for short distances helps save energy which would be used if you were to drive a car or ride a motorbike.
28. What should you do when not using your computer to save energy?
Even in standby mode, computers use energy. Unplugging it from the power source when not in use helps save energy and reduce electricity consumption.
29. Which of the following is a good way to save energy when cooking?
Cooking with lids on pots and pans helps retain heat, cook food faster, and use less energy compared to cooking without lids.
30. What should you do before leaving the house to conserve energy?
