Concept:

Energy:

• The energy possessed by an object is thus measured in terms of its capacity of doing work.
• The unit of energy is measured by joule (J).

Explanation:

Wood and animal dung:

• Animal manure and wood are two popular energy sources in Indian villages.
• It can be used to produce biogas.
• Biogas is a term used to describe a variety of gases that are created when organic matter breaks down in the absence of oxygen.

• In some rural locations, biogas plants can be installed adjacent to homes as simple structures to provide a source of gas for cooking and lighting.

Thus, the common energy source in an Indian village is wood and animal dung.

Additional InformationElectricity:

• Electricity is one of the most commonly used forms of energy.
• The term electricity comes from the Greek word electron which means amber.
• It is converted from mechanical to electrical energy with the help of a prime mover i.e., from the turbine to the generator.

Coal:

• Coal is one of the fuels used to cook food.
• Earlier, it was used in railway engines to produce steam to run the engine.
• It is also used in thermal power plants to produce electricity.

Sun:

• Solar energy, one of the renewable sources of energy, is defined as the transformation of solar energy.

1st term = 3
2nd term = 3 + 9 = 12
3rd term = 12 + 15 = 27
4th term = 27 + 21 = 48
5th term = 48 + 27 = 75
6th term = 75 + 33 = 108

Thus, the missing term is 7th term = 103 + 39 = 147
