A device that converts energy of combustion of fuels like hydrogen and methane, directly into electrical energy is known as
Electrolytic cell
Dynamo
Ni-Cd cell
Fuel cell
To solve this problem, we need to identify the type of device that converts the energy of combustion of fuels like hydrogen and methane directly into electrical energy.Let's analyze each option:• Option 1: Electrolytic cellAn electrolytic cell is used to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction using electrical energy. It does not convert combustion energy into electrical energy.• Option 2: DynamoA dynamo converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, typically using electromagnetic induction. It does not involve combustion of fuels.• Option 3: Ni-Cd cellA Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) cell is a type of rechargeable battery that converts chemical energy into electrical energy through redox reactions, not combustion.• Option 4: Fuel cellA fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen or another oxidizing agent. Hydrogen and methane can be used as fuels in fuel cells, making this the correct option.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4: Fuel cell.
