Hybrid Cars and Driverless Cars Quiz

What is the main difference between a series hybrid and a parallel hybrid car?

• The series hybrid has multiple electric motors, while the parallel hybrid has only one electric motor.

• The series hybrid is powered by its electric motor, while the parallel hybrid can use either power source separately or together.

• The series hybrid always uses the internal combustion engine, while the parallel hybrid can run on electric power alone.

• The series hybrid is fully electric, while the parallel hybrid uses a combination of gasoline and diesel.

When does a hybrid car primarily use its internal combustion engine?

• During acceleration.

• When pulling away from a stop.

• During braking.

• While cruising at high speeds.

What happens when a hybrid car starts moving?

• Both the internal combustion engine and electric motor are used.

• The car remains stationary until the engine is warmed up.

• Only the internal combustion engine is used.

• Only the electric motor is used.

What is the purpose of the internal combustion engine in a series hybrid car?

• To recharge the battery.

• To provide additional acceleration.

• To run a generator that produces electricity for the electric motor.

• To power the electric motor.

During braking, how is the excess energy in a hybrid car utilized?

• It is used to power the air conditioning system.

• It is converted into electricity to charge the battery.

• It is stored in a separate energy storage unit.

• It is dissipated as heat.

What technology enables a driverless car to navigate and drive itself?

• Artificial intelligence (AI) and satellite navigation.

• Hydraulic systems and mechanical sensors.

• Manual controls and steering wheels.

• Fuel injection systems and turbochargers.

Which type of hybrid car is more commonly found on the market?

• Fully electric car.

• Parallel hybrid.

• Series hybrid.

• Hydrogen fuel cell car.

What is the role of the electric motor in a hybrid car during acceleration?

• It provides power to the wheels.

• It controls the air conditioning system.

• It runs the internal combustion engine.

• It charges the battery.

When does a hybrid car primarily use its electric motor?

• During braking.

• When pulling away from a stop.

• While cruising at high speeds.

• During acceleration.

What happens to the internal combustion engine and electric motor during braking in a hybrid car?

• Both switch off.

• Only the electric motor remains active.

• Both remain active.

• Only the internal combustion engine remains active.
