Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following energy sources is classified as non-renewable?

  1. Wind energy from trade winds
  2. Solar radiation from the Sun
  3. Geothermal energy from volcanic activity
  4. Natural gas extracted from underground
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: DNatural gas extracted from underground
Natural gas is a fossil fuel formed over millions of years and cannot be replenished on a human timescale, making it non-renewable. Solar radiation, wind energy, and geothermal energy are continuously replenished by natural processes and are therefore renewable sources.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

In a hydroelectric power station, which energy transformation occurs as water falls from the reservoir to the turbines?

  1. Chemical energy → Kinetic energy
  2. Gravitational potential energy → Kinetic energy
  3. Kinetic energy → Electrical energy
  4. Nuclear energy → Thermal energy
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BGravitational potential energy → Kinetic energy
Water stored in a reservoir at height possesses gravitational potential energy. As it falls, this is converted to kinetic energy, which then drives turbines. The conversion of kinetic energy to electrical energy is the next stage, not the stage described by the falling water itself.

CXC CSEC Physics: Energy Sources: Renewable and Non-Renewable FAQ

How many CXC CSEC Physics questions on Energy Sources: Renewable and Non-Renewable are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Energy Sources: Renewable and Non-Renewable for CXC CSEC Physics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CXC paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Energy Sources: Renewable and Non-Renewable practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Energy Sources: Renewable and Non-Renewable questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Energy Sources: Renewable and Non-Renewable typically tested on CXC CSEC Physics papers?
Energy Sources: Renewable and Non-Renewable appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
