    The starter manually activates with what entered? - ProProfs

    The starter manually activates with what entered?

    • Positive and negative cables

    • Neighbor's dog food

    • Jumper cables

    • Car key

    Correct Answer
    A. Car key
    Explanation
    The starter in a car is manually activated by using a car key. When the key is inserted into the ignition and turned, it sends an electrical signal to the starter motor, which then engages and starts the engine. The other options listed, such as positive and negative cables, neighbor's dog food, and jumper cables, do not have any connection to the activation of the car starter.

    Does Lithium Grease prevent Chemical or Electrical damage?  - ProProfs

    Does Lithium Grease prevent Chemical or Electrical damage? 

    • Electrical

    • Chemical

    Correct Answer
    A. Chemical
    Explanation
    Lithium grease is primarily used as a lubricant to reduce friction and protect against wear and tear. While it can provide some level of protection against chemical damage, it is not specifically designed to prevent it. On the other hand, when it comes to electrical damage, lithium grease does not offer any protection or insulation. Therefore, the correct answer is Chemical.

    How many alternator retaining bolts are there?

    • Two

    • Three

    • Eight-hundred thousand

    • Five

    Correct Answer
    A. Two
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Two because an alternator typically has two retaining bolts that secure it in place. These bolts are used to hold the alternator firmly to the mounting bracket, ensuring that it stays in position while the engine is running. Having two bolts provides stability and prevents any movement or vibration that could potentially damage the alternator or its components.

    The starter relies on the alternator.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "The starter relies on the alternator" is false. The starter is a device used to start the engine, typically by engaging the flywheel to crank the engine. The alternator, on the other hand, is responsible for charging the battery and providing electrical power to the vehicle's electrical system. While both the starter and alternator are important components of a vehicle's electrical system, they serve different functions and do not rely on each other for operation.

    When replacing the starter, which cable do you disconnect first? - ProProfs

    When replacing the starter, which cable do you disconnect first?

    • Positive

    • Negative

    • Undefined

    • Both negative and positive

    Correct Answer
    A. Negative
    Explanation
    When replacing the starter, it is important to disconnect the negative cable first. This is because the negative cable is connected to the ground and removing it first ensures that there is no electrical current flowing through the system, reducing the risk of electrical shock or damage to the components. Disconnecting the positive cable first could still leave the negative cable connected to the ground and create a potential for electrical current to flow.

    What does the Solenoid give access to in a car? - ProProfs

    What does the Solenoid give access to in a car?

    Correct Answer
    Power
    Control
    Explanation
    The solenoid in a car gives access to both power and control. It is an electromechanical device that converts electrical energy into mechanical movement. The solenoid is responsible for controlling various systems in the car, such as the starter motor, fuel injectors, and transmission. It allows power to be delivered to these systems and also provides control over their operation.

    What can the battery do? - ProProfs

    What can the battery do?

    • Stabalize voltage

    • Turn electrical energy into chemical energy

    • Turn chemical energy to electrical energy

    • Unstabalize volatge

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Stabalize voltage
    A. Turn chemical energy to electrical energy
    Explanation
    The battery can stabilize voltage by providing a constant and steady flow of electrical energy. Additionally, it can turn chemical energy into electrical energy, as it converts the stored chemical energy into usable electrical energy.

    When replacing a car battery, what should you make sure to do with the terminals? - ProProfs

    When replacing a car battery, what should you make sure to do with the terminals?

    • Connect the negative terminal

    • Disconnect the positive terminal

    • Connect the positive terminal

    • Disconnect the negative terminal

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Disconnect the positive terminal
    A. Disconnect the negative terminal
    Explanation
    When replacing a car battery, it is important to disconnect the positive terminal first. This is because the positive terminal is usually connected to the electrical system of the car, and disconnecting it first helps to prevent any accidental short circuits or sparks. After disconnecting the positive terminal, the negative terminal should be disconnected next. This sequence ensures that the electrical system is safely disconnected before removing the battery.

    What do you clean after removing the car battery when replacing it?

    • Lithium grease

    • Terminal clamps

    • The battery tray

    • The hood of the car

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Terminal clamps
    A. The battery tray
    Explanation
    After removing the car battery when replacing it, it is important to clean the terminal clamps and the battery tray. The terminal clamps can accumulate dirt, corrosion, and debris over time, which can affect the battery's performance. Cleaning the terminal clamps ensures a good connection between the battery and the car's electrical system. Additionally, the battery tray may also have dirt and debris that needs to be cleaned to prevent any damage or interference with the new battery. Cleaning these components helps maintain the car's electrical system and ensures proper functioning of the new battery.
