Turbochargers

What is the main difference in how turbochargers and superchargers are driven?

• Turbochargers are driven by exhaust gases, while superchargers are driven from the crankshaft.

• Turbochargers are driven from the crankshaft, while superchargers are driven by exhaust gases.

• Both turbochargers and superchargers are driven by exhaust gases.

• Both turbochargers and superchargers are driven from the crankshaft.

Which of the following is a characteristic of turbochargers?
