  • Q1
    What is the main purpose of a differential in a vehicle's drive train?
    To allow the wheels to rotate at different speeds
    To reduce the vehicle's fuel consumption
    To increase the vehicle's speed
    To directly power the vehicle's wheels

  • Q2
    In a vehicle's drivetrain, what type of differential locks the wheels together, forcing them to rotate at the same speed?
    Open differential
    Locking differential
    Torque-vectoring differential
    Limited-slip differential
    30s
  • Q3
    Which differential component adjusts the level of torque transmitted to each wheel based on their grip levels?
    Torque-vectoring differential
    Locking differential
    Open differential
    Limited-slip differential
    30s
  • Q4
    What is the primary advantage of using a limited-slip differential over an open differential in performance vehicles?
    Increased fuel efficiency
    Improved traction under varying conditions
    Reduced vehicle weight
    Simpler manufacturing process
    30s
  • Q5
    In the context of automotive drive trains, what is the primary function of an open differential?
    To distribute the engine’s power evenly to both wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds
    To provide maximum torque to the wheel with the least traction
    To lock both wheels on the axle together, forcing them to spin at the same speed
    To adjust the vehicle's ground clearance automatically
    30s
  • Q6
    What is the main disadvantage of using an open differential in off-road or slippery conditions?
    It automatically adjusts the vehicle’s speed
    It increases fuel consumption drastically
    It can cause one wheel to spin freely if it loses traction
    It locks the wheels together, reducing maneuverability
    30s
  • Q7
    Which differential type uses clutches or a fluid mechanism to distribute power between wheels, providing torque to the wheel with more grip?
    Torque-vectoring differential
    Locking differential
    Open differential
    Limited-slip differential
    30s
  • Q8
    What is the purpose of a locking differential in a vehicle's drivetrain?
    To enhance fuel efficiency of the vehicle
    To mechanically lock the wheels together, ensuring they rotate at the same speed
    To allow the wheels to rotate at different speeds for turns
    To adjust power distribution based on grip levels
    30s
  • Q9
    How does a torque-vectoring differential improve a vehicle's handling compared to traditional differentials?
    By always distributing torque equally to all wheels
    By locking the wheels together to prevent slipping
    By reducing the vehicle's overall weight
    By dynamically adjusting the torque sent to each wheel based on driving conditions
    30s
  • Q10
    What is a common method used by limited-slip differentials (LSDs) to prevent wheel slip in low-traction conditions?
    Pumping air into the tires to increase their size
    Physically locking the left and right wheels together
    Applying friction to slow down the faster-spinning wheel
    Increasing the vehicle's engine power
    30s
