What is the primary difference between drum brakes and disc brakes?
A) Drum brakes use pads, while disc brakes use shoes
B) Drum brakes use shoes inside a drum, while disc brakes use pads on a rotor
C) Disc brakes are only used on rear wheels, while drum brakes are for front wheels
D) Drum brakes are primarily used in racing cars
Which of the following is an advantage of disc brakes over drum brakes?
A) Lower cost
B) Better performance in wet conditions
C) Lower maintenance requirements
D) More compact design
Which component is common to both disc brakes and drum brakes?
A) Brake rotor
B) Brake pad
C) Brake drum
D) Brake shoes
What is the main function of a brake caliper in a disc brake system?
A) To provide the friction surface for braking
B) To squeeze the brake pads against the rotor
C) To house the brake drum
D) To absorb heat generated by braking
In drum brakes, what component pushes the brake shoes against the drum?
Brake caliper
Wheel cylinder
Master cylinder
Brake pads
Which type of brake is generally more resistant to heat?
Drum brakes
Disc brakes
Both are equally resistant to heat
Heat resistance depends on the brake material, not the type
Which component is responsible for returning the brake shoes to their resting position in a drum brake system?
Brake cylinder
Return springs
Brake pads
Caliper piston
What is the purpose of the brake rotor in a disc brake system?
To convert hydraulic pressure to mechanical force
To provide a surface for the pads to press against and create friction
To house the brake pads
To absorb vibration from the wheels
Which type of brake is more effective in performance vehicles and why?
Drum brakes, because they are more efficient at high speeds
Disc brakes, because they dissipate heat better and offer more consistent braking
Drum brakes, because they are easier to maintain
Disc brakes, because they are more affordable
Why are drum brakes still commonly used on the rear wheels of many vehicles?
They provide better braking performance
They are lighter than disc brakes
They are cost-effective and provide adequate performance for rear wheels
They are quieter than disc brakes
