Screwdrivers are sized by the length of the?
- A.
Blade
- B.
Shank
- C.
Handle
- D.
Ferrule
Correct Answer
B. ShankExplanation
Screwdrivers are sized by the length of the shank. The shank refers to the cylindrical portion of the screwdriver that connects the handle to the blade. The length of the shank determines the overall length of the screwdriver and is an important factor when selecting the appropriate tool for a specific task. A longer shank may be needed for reaching screws in deep or tight spaces, while a shorter shank may be more suitable for smaller, more precise jobs.Rate this question:

When striking an object with a hammer, the hammer face should be?
- A.
Parallel to the work
- B.
Offset to the work
- C.
Slightly angled
- D.
Slightly open
Correct Answer
A. Parallel to the workExplanation
When striking an object with a hammer, it is important for the hammer face to be parallel to the work. This ensures that the force is evenly distributed and maximizes the impact on the object being struck. If the hammer face is offset or angled, it may result in an uneven strike or cause the hammer to slip off the object. Therefore, keeping the hammer face parallel to the work is the correct technique to achieve effective and accurate strikes.Rate this question:

B. Keeps its magnetismExplanation
A permanent magnet is a material that retains its magnetism over a long period of time. It is able to generate a magnetic field without the need for an external power source. This is due to the alignment of its magnetic domains, which remain in a fixed position even when the magnet is not in contact with other magnetic materials. Therefore, the correct answer is "Keeps its magnetism."Rate this question:

The greater the current flow through an electromagnet, the?
- A.
Greater the retentivity
- B.
Lesser the field strength
- C.
Greater the field strength
- D.
Higher the core reluctance
Correct Answer
C. Greater the field strengthExplanation
The greater the current flow through an electromagnet, the stronger the magnetic field it produces. This is because the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current flowing through the electromagnet. As the current increases, more magnetic field lines are generated, resulting in a stronger field strength.Rate this question:

The intensity of electrical current flow is measured in?
- A.
Volts
- B.
Cycles
- C.
Amperes
- D.
Coulombs
Correct Answer
C. AmperesExplanation
The intensity of electrical current flow is measured in Amperes. Amperes is the unit used to quantify the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit. It represents the number of electrons passing through a point in a circuit per second. Volts measure the electrical potential difference, cycles represent the frequency of alternating current, and coulombs measure the quantity of electric charge.Rate this question:
