All of the following statements about the hydraulic braking system are true EXCEPT:
A)the force applied to the brake linings when the master cylinder operates is increased with a larger diameter wheel cylinder.
B)when larger wheel cylinders are used, the distance that the pedal has to travel before building up pressure increases.
C)in order to increase the pressure coming from the master cylinder, the diameter of its bore must be larger.
D)laws of hydraulic pressure can be applied to electrical fundamentals.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DC) The pressure from the master cylinder is actually determined by the force applied to the pedal and the bore size, but increasing the bore size without increasing the force applied will not necessarily increase the pressure. It's the ratio of the master cylinder bore size to the wheel cylinder bore size that affects the system's mechanical advantage, not just the size of the master cylinder bore alone.D) While hydraulic systems and electrical circuits can share some conceptual similarities, such as the flow of fluid in hydraulics and the flow of electrons in electrical circuits (often compared through analogies like Ohm's Law for electricity and similar principles for fluid flow), saying that laws of hydraulic pressure can be directly applied to electrical fundamentals is misleading. The principles governing these two domains are distinct, even if analogies can sometimes be drawn between them for educational purposes.
