    • A.

      Electric current

    • B.

      Static electricity

    • C.

      Electrostatic voltage

    • D.

      Electrostatic discharge

    Correct Answer
    B. Static electricity
    Explanation
    Static electricity refers to an electrical charge that is at rest or stationary. It occurs when there is an imbalance of electric charges on the surface of an object. Unlike electric current, which involves the flow of electric charges, static electricity does not involve any movement of charges. Instead, the charges remain static or stationary on the object's surface. Therefore, the term "static electricity" is the correct answer for this question.

    (201) Triboelectrification is the

    • A.

      Generation of a static charge by friction

    • B.

      Dissipation of a static charge by diffusion

    • C.

      Dissipation of a static charge by a static drain

    • D.

      Generation of a static charge by electrical noise

    Correct Answer
    A. Generation of a static charge by friction
    Explanation
    Triboelectrification refers to the generation of a static charge through friction. When two different materials come into contact and then separate, electrons can transfer from one material to the other, resulting in a build-up of static electricity. This process is commonly observed when rubbing certain materials together, such as rubbing a balloon on hair to make it stick or rubbing a comb on wool to attract small pieces of paper. Therefore, the correct answer is the "generation of a static charge by friction."

    (201) In an ESD protective area, what level of relative humidity is the most desirable?

    • A.

      20 - 40 percent

    • B.

      40 - 60 percent

    • C.

      60 - 80 percent

    • D.

      80 - 100 percent

    Correct Answer
    B. 40 - 60 percent
    Explanation
    In an ESD protective area, a relative humidity level of 40 - 60 percent is the most desirable. This range helps to minimize the buildup of static electricity by ensuring that the air is not too dry or too humid. If the air is too dry, it can increase the likelihood of electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. On the other hand, if the air is too humid, it can lead to condensation which can also cause ESD issues. Therefore, maintaining a relative humidity level within the 40 - 60 percent range is ideal for preventing ESD damage.

    • D.

      Circuit board forms an electrostatic shield, protecting the components

    Correct Answer
    A. Components are still susceptible to ESD damage
    Explanation
    When ESDS (Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive) components are mounted on a circuit board, they are still susceptible to ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage. This means that even though they are attached to a circuit board, they can still be damaged by static electricity. The circuit board itself does not provide sufficient protection against ESD, so proper ESD precautions need to be taken to prevent damage to the components.

    Rate this question:

  • 6.

    • A.

      The conductive connector caps are not lost

    • B.

      Technicians stay in the habit of protecting all items

    • C.

      No further ESD damage is done to the damaged parts

    • D.

      No further ESD damage is done to the remaining operating parts

    Correct Answer
    D. No further ESD damage is done to the remaining operating parts
    Explanation
    The reason it is important for both servicable and unservicable ESDS items to receive the same ESD protection is to prevent any further ESD damage to the remaining operating parts. ESD (electrostatic discharge) can cause damage to electronic components, and if the unservicable items are not protected, there is a risk of ESD transferring to the remaining operating parts and causing additional damage. Therefore, by providing the same level of ESD protection to all items, the risk of further damage to the functioning parts is minimized.

    • C.

      TO does not specify that compensation is required

    • D.

      Prevailing torque is less than 10 percent of the recommended torque value

    Correct Answer
    A. Technical order specifies that compensation is required
    Explanation
    When the technical order specifies that compensation is required, it means that the prevailing torque of a self-locking nut needs to be taken into account. Prevailing torque refers to the resistance encountered when tightening or loosening a self-locking nut due to the friction between the nut and the mating threads. This friction helps to prevent the nut from loosening unintentionally. Therefore, when the technical order states that compensation is required, it implies that the prevailing torque of the self-locking nut needs to be considered and adjusted for during the installation or removal process.
