A capacitor is often used for which of the following purposes?
to maintain power in a circuit when the primary power source is disconnected
Capacitors store electricity and are used in circuits as temporary batteries. Capacitors are charged by DC current (AC current passes through a capacitor) and that stored charge can later be dissipated into the circuit as needed. Capacitors are often used to maintain power within a system when it is disconnected from its primary power source or to smooth out or filter voltage within a circuit.
Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?
closest to the surface
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
The __________ splits engine power between the front and rear axles of four-wheel drive vehicles.
transfer case
The transfer case splits engine power between the front and rear axles of four-wheel drive vehicles.
What is the voltage of most household electrical systems in the United States?
110V
Most households use electricity with a voltage of 110V.
Which of the following transfers the torque from the transmission to the drive wheels at a constant speed while accomodating the up and down movement of the suspension?
constant velocity (CV) joint
Constant velocity (CV) joints are located at both ends of a half shaft and their purpose is to transfer the torque from the transmission to the drive wheels at a constant speed while accomodating the up and down movement of the suspension. The inner CV joint connects the shaft to the transmission and the outer CV joint connects the shaft to the wheel.
If BD = 22 and AD = 29, AB = ?
The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:
AD = AB + BD
Solving for AB:AB = AD - BD
