Sources of Energy 1 mark Easy
List two characteristics of a good fuel.

Answer

A good fuel has a high calorific value and burns without smoke or harmful gases.

Any two of these: (1) It has a high calorific value: it produces a large amount of heat per unit mass on burning. (2) It burns without producing smoke or harmful gases, so it does not pollute the environment (it is eco-friendly). (3) It is cheap (less expensive) and easily available. (4) It is easy to store and transport. Other correct characteristics, such as burning easily in air at a moderate rate, also earn credit.
