What is the sequence of energy transformations that occur in a nuclear reactor?
a. nuclear energy- mechanical energy- thermal energy- electrical energy
b. nuclear energy- thermal energy- mechanical energy-electrical energy
c. thermal energy-nuclear energy-mechanical energy-electrical energy
d. electrical energy-thermal energy-mechanical energy-nuclear energy

Option (b)

Explanation:

A nuclear reactor is a set up in which nuclear fission takes place and then the energy released is used to generate electrical energy.

Initially the nuclear energy is released by the fission of Uranium or reactor fuel.

Now, this nuclear energy is used to heat the water, then the energy from the hot water or steam is used to rotate the turbine, finally the turbine rotate and the electrical energy is generated by the generator.

So, the correct sequence is

nuclear energy - thermal energy - mechanical energy - electrical energy

the maxium height is 34m/s
