Disc Brakes Quiz

What is the main function of the disc rotor in a braking system?

• To create friction that decelerates the rotation of the wheel and the vehicle

• To measure the speed of the vehicle

• To hold the brake pads in place

• To pump brake fluid

What activates the caliper in a braking system?

• Air pressure

• Mechanical force from the brake pedal

• Hydraulic pressure from the brake fluid

• Electric current

Which part of the caliper assembly is responsible for moving the caliper along the slide pins?

• Master cylinder

• Brake pads

• Brake piston

• Banjo fitting

What is the role of the brake pads in the braking system?

• To measure the brake fluid pressure

• To pump brake fluid

• To create friction against the disc rotor
