- Q2Which list depicts in the correct order, how wind turbines produce electricity?1. wind measurement is taken 2. the turbines rotate to face the strongest wind and the blades are angled such that optimum energy is collected 3. the wind turns the blades of the turbine around a motor and the generator begins to spin 4.electricity is produced1. the turbines rotate to face the strongest wind and the blades are angled such that optimum energy is collected 2. wind measurement is taken 3. the wind turns the blades of the turbine around a motor and the generator begins to spin 4. electricity is produced1. the turbines rotate to face the strongest wind and the blades are angled such that optimum energy is collected 2. the wind turns the blades of the turbine around a motor and the generator begins to spin 3. wind measurement is taken 4. electricity is produced10s
