Passage:
Passive solar heating and active solar heating both capture solar radiation to provide warmth to interior spaces, but they employ distinct physical mechanisms. Passive solar systems rely entirely on the architectural elements of a building—such as south-facing glass windows and high-density masonry floors—to collect and distribute heat naturally without mechanical intervention. In contrast, active solar systems require external mechanical or electrical devices, including liquid collectors, pumps, and circulating fans, to absorb thermal energy and transport it throughout the structure.
Based on the passage, what is one explicit difference between passive solar heating and active solar heating?
- Passive solar heating relies on architectural elements to distribute heat naturally, whereas active solar heating requires mechanical devices like pumps and fans.Cevap
- BPassive solar heating utilizes liquid collectors to store energy, whereas active solar heating depends solely on south-facing glass windows.
- CPassive solar heating converts solar light into electricity, whereas active solar heating converts heat directly into structural mass.
- DPassive solar heating provides heat to exterior walls, whereas active solar heating is limited to warming interior flooring.
Cevap
Passive solar heating relies on architectural elements to distribute heat naturally, whereas active solar heating requires mechanical devices like pumps and fans.
The correct answer accurately restates the passage's explicit contrast: passive solar heating uses architectural components to move heat without mechanics, while active solar heating uses mechanical equipment such as pumps and fans.
