Consider the following statements with reference to fuel cells: 1. In fuel cells, hydrogen-rich fuel and oxygen are used to generate electricity. 2. Fuel cells produce electricity in the form of direct current (DC). 3. Hydrogen fuel cells are more energy-efficient compared to diesel engines. Which of the statements given above is/are correct? Correct Answer 1, 2 and 3

The correct answer is options 1, 2, and 3.

Key Points,

  • Fuel cells are used primarily for backup power for commercial, industrial, and residential buildings.
  • A fuel cell uses the chemical energy of hydrogen or another fuel to cleanly efficiently produce electricity. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
  • If hydrogen is the fuel electricity, water and heat are the only products.
  • Fuel cells produce electricity in the form of direct current (DC), not in the form of Alternating current (AC). Hence, statement 2 is correct.
  • Fuel cells are unique in terms of their potential applications, they can provide power for systems as large as a utility power station and as small as a laptop computer.
  • Hydrogen has a high energy density as compared to other fuels, thus it produces more energy in lesser weight due to which it can prove to be a viable option for heavy vehicles covering long routes in the future. Hence, statement 3 is correct.
