Wind energy converts_______________ into electrical energy.

kinetic

The correct answer is Option 2: kinetic

Wind energy converts the kinetic energy of moving air into electrical energy using wind turbines.

NCERT: Wind energy is absolutely pollution-free, an inexhaustible source of energy. The mechanism of energy conversion from blowing wind is simple. The kinetic energy of wind, through turbines is converted into electrical energy. Permanent wind systems such the trade winds, westerlies, and seasonal wind-like monsoons have been used as sources of energy. Besides these, local winds, land and sea breezes can also be used to produce electricity.
