Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of connecting the battery's negative terminal to the chassis?

  • To provide a power source for the starter motor
  • To establish a central grounding point for the electrical system (correct)
  • To increase the voltage output of the battery
  • To reduce the risk of electrical shock
  • What is the effect of a lower gorge number on an electrical wire?

  • The wire becomes less flexible and more prone to breakage
  • The wire becomes thicker and more efficient for high-current applications (correct)
  • The wire becomes more susceptible to electrical interference
  • The wire becomes thinner and more prone to electrical resistance
  • What is the typical characteristic of electrical wires used for power transmission in a vehicle?

  • Thicker and lower gorge number (correct)
  • Stranded core and braided with copper
  • Solid core and insulated with rubber
  • Thinner and higher gorge number
  • Why is it essential to ensure a consistent ground reference in a vehicle's electrical system?
