    Explanation
    When triboelectrification occurs due to friction between two bodies, it results in one body gaining electrons and the other body losing electrons. This is because when two materials come into contact and rub against each other, the friction causes the transfer of electrons from one material to another. The material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged, while the material that loses electrons becomes positively charged. This transfer of electrons is what leads to the phenomenon of triboelectrification.

    Increased humidity helps to dissipate electrostatic charges by

    • Increasing surface conductivity.

    • Decreasing surface conductivity.

    • Increasing component insulation.

    • Decreasing component insulation.

    Correct Answer
    A. Increasing surface conductivity.
    Explanation
    Increased humidity helps to dissipate electrostatic charges by increasing surface conductivity. When the air is more humid, it contains more moisture which can form a thin layer on the surface of objects. This moisture acts as a conductor, allowing the charges to flow more easily and preventing them from building up. As a result, the surface conductivity increases, reducing the likelihood of static electricity buildup and discharge.

    If electrostatic discharge-sensitive (ESDS) components are mounted on a circuit board, then the

    • Components are still susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.

    • Circuit board forms an electrostatic shield, protecting the components.

    • Circuit board forms a static drain, protecting the components.

    • Components are no longer susceptible to ESD damage.

    Correct Answer
    A. Components are still susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
    Explanation
    When electrostatic discharge-sensitive (ESDS) components are mounted on a circuit board, they are still susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. This means that even though they are mounted on the board, they can still be affected by ESD and potentially be damaged. The circuit board itself does not provide protection or act as a shield or static drain for the components. Therefore, the components remain vulnerable to ESD damage.

    Topical antistats should not be used on electronic parts or printed circuit boards because they

    • Harden and cause cracked runs.

    • Hasten the formation of surface fungus.

    • May form current leakage paths that cause malfunctions.

    • Form surface fungus on parts not completely dipped in the antistat.

    Correct Answer
    A. May form current leakage paths that cause malfunctions.
    Explanation
    Topical antistats should not be used on electronic parts or printed circuit boards because they may form current leakage paths that cause malfunctions. This is because the antistat, when applied topically, can create conductive paths between different components or traces on the circuit board. These unintended paths can lead to the flow of electrical current where it shouldn't be, causing malfunctions or even damage to the electronic parts. Therefore, it is important to avoid using topical antistats on electronic parts to prevent the formation of these current leakage paths.

    If two pounds of force is applied to the handle end of a 5-inch wrench, how much torque has been developed at the bolt end of the wrench?

    • 2 ½ inch-pounds.

    • 5-inch-pounds.

    • 10-inch-pounds.

    • 20-inch-pounds.

    Correct Answer
    A. 10-inch-pounds.
    Explanation
    Torque is calculated by multiplying the force applied by the distance from the pivot point. In this case, the force applied is 2 pounds and the distance from the pivot point is 5 inches. Therefore, the torque developed at the bolt end of the wrench is 2 pounds multiplied by 5 inches, which equals 10 inch-pounds.

    When would you use a torque wrench to break loose a bolt?

    • Never.

    • Whenever the bolt is overtightened.

    • When using a torque wrench extender.

    • When it is too tight to use a standard break-away wrench.

    Correct Answer
    A. Never.
    Explanation
    A torque wrench is used to tighten bolts to a specific torque value, ensuring that they are neither too loose nor too tight. It is not meant to be used to break loose bolts. To break loose a bolt, a standard break-away wrench or a breaker bar is typically used. Therefore, the correct answer is "Never" as a torque wrench is not used for breaking loose bolts.
