9.
Why must maintenance engineers consider static electricity when working
on aircraft:
a.
electronic equipment
structures
Static electricity can build to very high levels (KV) in aircraft airframes due
to friction of the aircraft when flying through the air. All aircraft structures
should be at the same potential using Bonding leads and structure
electrical Bonds. Aircraft should be earthed to disperse any static build up
especially near fuel or volatile gas or liquid areas. Engineers should
always earth themselves with the structure at an earth or bond point before
working in these or sensitive avionic bay areas
10.
11.
What sort of potentials can be created by somebody walking across a
carpet and does humidity have any effect on the value?
Up to 35 000 volts. As humidity increases, static charge decreases.
12.
As two charged bodies are moved apart, the force of attraction or repulsion
between them decreases by the square of the distance (i.e. if the distance
between them is increased from 1cm to 2 cm, the force decreases by a factor of
4. If the distance is increased to 3cm, the force decreases by a factor of 9),
why ?

Q2. What is the difference between conventional current flow and
electron flow ?
In conventional flow it is considered that the positive charge carriers move
from positive to negative terminals, where as electron flow the charge
carriers which are negative (electrons) move from the negative to the
positive terminal. Electron flow reflects the true properties of current flow

Investigate the construction and operation of a common primary cell and
write a brief report on your findings.
27.
A 25 A-h at the 10 hour rate battery can supply what maximum current
continuously and for how long?
2.5 Amps for 10 Hours.
28.
A 35 A-h at the 1 hour rate battery can supply what maximum current and
for how long?
3.5 Amps for 10 Hours.
29.
If a 40 A-h at the 10 hour battery was discharged at 8 Amps how long
would you expect it to be able to provide this current?
Answer cannot be calculated, but it will be less 5 hours. Battery should be
able to provide 4 amps continuously for 10 hours, but will not be able to
provide 8 amps for 4 hours because its capacity decreases with increase
in load.
30.
When carrying out a capacity test on a 20 A-h battery, it only achieved
80%, what is the actual battery capacity?
80% of 20 A-hr = 16 A-hr.
31.
A battery was discharged at 10 Amps for 10 hours in order to test its
capacity. What was the batterys rating?
100 A-hr @ 10hr rate.
32.
If four 2 volt, 1 ampere-hour cells, each with an internal resistance of 2
ohms are connected in series to form a battery, what is the battery voltage,
capacity and internal resistance?
8 volts , 1 A-hr and 8 Ohms.
33.
How can a 4 volt, 6 A-h supply be obtained from six 2 volt, 2 A-h cells?
Connect 6 cells to make 3 pairs of 2 in series, and then connect these in
parallel.
34.
Two 12 volt, lead acid, aircraft batteries are connected in parallel to give a
greater capacity. Draw a circuit diagram depicting the individual cells of these
two interconnected batteries.
35.
What happens if a 4 volt battery is connected in parallel with a 2 volt
battery?
Actual battery voltage will depend on internal resistance of individual
batteries. If both batteries have the same resistance, the total battery
voltage will be 3 volts. It is suggested you investigate this using
Electronics Workbench during one of the Laboratory sessions.
36.
When 3 identical cells are connected in series across a filament, in which
order do they discharge?
They all discharge together at the same rate.

Two 10M resistors are connected in series across a 300 volt supply. If a
meter, having an internal resistance of 10M on the appropriate range, is used to
measure the voltage drop across the two resistors, what values will be indicated
on the meter.
When meter connected across either resistor, the circuit becomes 100
ohms in series with 50 ohms because of the meter loading (100//100 =
50). The meter will therefore indicate 100 volts across either resistor.

This is simply of calculating the preferred value plus 10% and the preferred
value minus 10%. Using (i) as an example - 12M + 12M = 132M

A resistor is connected across a potentiometer and the slider is increased
from minimum resistance to maximum. What affect will this have on the voltage
across the resistor and the current flowing through it?
As wiper moved from zero to max resistance (L to R on the diagram), the
potential across the load increases, the increased potential leads to an
increase in load current.
66.
A resistor is connected in series with a rheostat and the slider is moved
from minimum to maximum resistance. What affect will this have on the voltage

Using Ohms law and Kirchoffs second law, derive the formula for the total
resistance of resistors connected in series.
Hence E = V1 + V2 + V3
But from Ohms Law V = IR
Therefore E = IRTOTAL
So V1 = IR1 V2 = IR2 V3 = IR3
Thus IRTOTAL = IR1 + IR2 + IR3
= I (R1 + R2 + R3)
So RTOTAL = R1 + R2 + R3

When a 1.2k resistor is connected in series with a 3.6k across a power
supply, the current is 150mA. What are the voltage drops across the resistors?
V = 12 x 103 x 150 x 10-3 = 180V (across 12k resistor).
V = 36 x 103 x 150 x 10-3 = 540V (across 36k resistor).

(V/RTOT). Having found the circuit current,
multiply each resistor by this current.

123. Describe the Earths magnetic field and explain the terms dip and
variation.
124. Describe one use for a hard iron material and one use for a soft iron
material. Explain how the materials magnetic properties are exploited.
Hard magnetic materials are difficult to magnetise BUT retain most of their
magnetism once the magnetising force has been removed Used for
Permanent magnets eg Titanium & Copper, Aluminium
Soft magnetic materials are more easily magnetised BUT loose their
magnetism relatively quickly once the magnetising force has been
removed. Used for Electromagnets eg Stalloy & Mumetal
125.
Surrrounding them with soft iron material, which has a lower reluctance
than air and has a low reluctance value, hence the lines of flux concentrate
in the soft iron rather than the equipment being screened
126. Explain why might it be necessary to shield components from magnetic
fields.
Two reasons. The component may induce emfs in other components, or
other components may induce emfs in it. The shielding will contain flux
within the shield, or prevent flux from outside the shield getting inside.

136. A steel ring having a mean diameter of 35cm and a cross-sectional area of
24cm2 is broken by a parallel sided air gap of length 12cm. Short pole pieces of
negligible reluctance extend the effective cross-sectional area of the air gap to
12cm2. Taking r = 700 and neglecting leakage, determine the current necessary

151. If an ideal capacitor was fully charged on a power supply and then
connected across an ideal inductor. Explain what would happen. (an ideal
capacitor has no inductance or resistance and an ideal inductor has no
capacitance or resistance)
The capacitor discharges through the inductor creating a magnetic field.
When the capacitor is discharged the magnetic field collapses producing a
back-emf that charges the capacitor again. With no resistance, there is no
loss. Therefore the cycling would continue indefinitely.
152. A real capacitor is fully charged on a power supply and then connected
across an actual inductor. Explain what happens.
153. Explain how a coil, connected into 24 volt d.c. circuit, could produce a back
emf of 2000 volts.
When switch opened.
TC = L/R
but R is infinite and therefore the time-constant is zero.
The current and field collapse instantly.
Back-emf is proportional to .
If is infinite then the back-emf must be infinite.
