• Electrical circuits

Which type of spring is made up of multiple layers of metal strips?

• Helical spring

• Laminated spring

• Disc spring

• Torsion spring

Laminated springs are commonly used in:

• Watches

• Vehicle suspensions

• Clocks

• Electrical switches

Coiled springs are used in applications requiring:

• High compressive strength

• Energy storage and release

• Permanent deformation

• Thermal insulation

An example of an application for helical springs is:

• Railway buffers

• Building foundations

• Concrete beams

• Electrical wiring

Which of the following is a type of coiled spring?

• Leaf spring

• Helical spring

• Belleville spring

• Flat spring

Helical springs can be classified as:

• Open-coiled and closely coiled

• Laminated and non-laminated

• Flat and curved

• Rigid and flexible

Torsion springs are a type of coiled spring that resist:

• Axial compression

• Twisting or rotational forces

• Bending forces

• Tensile forces
