1.

Are used to determine a material's behavior under applied crushing loads, and are typically conducted by applying compressive pressure to a test specimen (usually of either a cuboid or cylindrical geometry) using platens or specialized fixtures on a universal testing machine.

a)

Compression tests

b)

Tensile

c)

Shear test

d)

Tortion testing

2.

Ohm’s Law relate the current (I) or time rate of charge passage to the applied voltage (V).

a)

TRUE

b)

FALSE

3.

The electrical properties of materials can be determined by performing carefully laboratory experiments such as tensile test, compression test, shear test, torsion test, impact test and hardness test.

a)

True

b)

False

4.

Is the minimum required temperature for a solid material to change into liquid.

a)

Specific Gravity

b)

Density

c)

Melting point

d)

Malleability

5.

Creep is the property of material which indicates the tendency of material to move slowly and deform permanently under the influence of external mechanical stress.

a)

True

b)

False

6.

Refers to the rate at which a chemical substance tends to undergo a chemical reaction in time.

a)

Surface tension

b)

Reactivity

c)

Corrosion resistance

d)

pH

7.

A material property that is indicative of the extent to which a material expands upon heating, and has units of reciprocal temperature.

a)

Thermal expansion

b)

Thermal conductivity

c)

Thermal stresses

d)

Heat capacity

8.

Electrical conductivity indicative of the ease with which a material is capable of conducting an electric current.

a)

True

b)

False

9.

Materials are those through which light is transmitted diffusely; that is, light is scattered within the interior to the degree that objects are not clearly distinguishable when viewed through a specimen of the material.

a)

Radiation Intensity

b)

Transparent

c)

Refraction

d)

Translucent

10.

When light passes from one transparent medium to another having a different index of refraction, some of it is reflected at the interface

a)

True

b)

False
