Select any of the following Engineering fields which are required for designing a CubeSat.

(You can select more than 1 option)

• Mechanical

• Electrical

• Aerospace

• Civil

What is the function of resistors in an electronic circuit?

• Store and release electrical energy

• Control the amount of current

• Allow current to flow in one direction only

• Control the amount of voltage

The electronic component shown in the picture is used for storing and releasing of electrical energy. What is this component known as?

• Transistor

• Diode

• Capacitor

• Resistor

In the picture shown, the rate of water flowing out is highest at point C.

In the electrical analogy, this means that the is highest at C.

• voltage

• current

• resistance

• charge

What type of power supply is typically used in satellites?

• AC

• CC

• DC

• PC

Why is it important that you MUST NOT pass a current beyond a component's rated capacity?

• This may result in the component becoming resistant to overheating

• This may result in excessive electrical bill at the end of the month.

• This may result in overheating, leading to component burnout or irreversible damage

• This may result in the instrument giving unreliable readings

Which of the following are recommended practices that you must observe to prevent electrical short circuit?

(Select all correct answers)

• Pay extreme attention during tool use

• Follow correct wiring practices meticulously

• Always turn off power before engaging with electrical circuits

• Always disinfect your hands before handling circuits

If you mistakenly tell an INPUT pin to act like an OUTPUT in your Arduino code and it tries to send or receive current, which of the following could possibly happen?

• You team member may scream, tell him/her to calm down.

• It's ok, just re-do the code.

• The Arduino can be damaged.

Select any of the following options that are important for safety.

(you can select multiple options)

• Do not exceed components voltage ratings.

• Do not touch electronic boards with tools unless they are completely disconnected from power.

• Do not place electronic boards on metallic surfaces.

• Do not measure resistance with the multimeter with the power on.

• Do not switch modes on the multimeter while measuring something.

Look closely at the circuit. Is there anything wrong with the connection?

(You have 30 seconds to answer this question)

• The output and input pins were connected reversed!

• There is a short circuit!

• The wrong coloured wire was used!

• the LED was connected reversed.
