1

A volume of space where there is a change in magnetic energy is
called:
A magnetic field
A magnetic dipole
A magnetic pole
A magnetic domain

2

The opposition that a ferromagnetic material shows to the
establishment of a magnetic field is called:
Retentivity
Reluctance
Coercive force
Permeability

3

Components generally must be demagnetized because residual
magnetism can:
Affect machining and welding processes
Interfere with near by electronic components
Increase wear by attracting abrasive particles
All of the above

4

The amount of reverse magnetic field which must be applied to a
magnetic material to reduce the magnetic flux to zero is called:
Retentivity
Residual magnetism
Coercive force
Permeability

5

When the magnetizing current is stopped, a ferromagnetic material
will:
remain magnetically saturated
become demagnetized
retain a residual magnetic field withing the component

None of the above

6

The number of magnetic lines of force cutting thorugh a plane of a
given area at a right angle is known as the:
Magnetic flux leakage
Magnetic flux density
Magnetic ampere
None of the above

7

A yoke establishes a magnetic field:
That can be constant or pulsed
Between the north and south poles of the yoke
Equally in all directions around the poles
Both A and B

8

Magnetic particle inspection can be performed on parts made from
which materials?
Iron, nickel, copper
Iron, nickel, cobalt
Nickel, cobalt, copper
Iron only

9

When a magnetic field cuts across a crack:
Electrons begin jumping back and forth across the crack
The crack begins to heat up
Magnetic poles form at the edges of the crack
All of the above

10

When performing a magnetic particle test with a coil, the part should
be placed:
Along the outside edge the coil
Along the inside edge of the coil
Centered in the coil
None of the above

11

The magnetic field circling each loop of wire in a coil combines with
the fields from the other loops to produce a concentrated field:
Which is maximized around the outside of the coil
Around each loop of the coil
Down the center of the coil

All of the above

12

The magnetic flux density that remains in the material when the
magnetizing force is zero is called:
Retentivity
Residual magnetism
Coercive force
Permeability

13

Ferromagnetic materials are made up of small polarized regions
known as:
Photons
Quarks
Electrons
Domains

14

Magnetic lines of force:
Form closed loops from pole to pole
Will shift 180 degrees when a direct current is applied
Were discovered by Wilhelm Hurst
None of the above

15

Faradays Law of Magnetic Induction states that:
The flow of electrons can be used to generate a magnetic field
The magnetic forces of the material's electrons will be affected by an
external magnetic field
Iron filings can be used to produce an indication of a flaw
Flux leakage is the byproduct of magnetic fields when testing aluminum
alloys.

16

When a ferromagnetic material is in a unmagnetized state, the
domains are:
Aligned in a north and south direction
Aligned in a east and west direction
Randomly organized
Balanced to produce a gauss rating of 2

17

A material with a wider hysteresis loop has:
Lower reluctance
Lower residual magnetism

Higher residual magnetism
Higher premeability

18

Multidirectional inspection equipment:
Provides a more sensitive inspection
Provices a less sensitive inspection
Can be used without the need for QQIs
Reduces inspection time

19

The use of prods is sometimes restricted because:
They produce a relatively weak field
There is a potential for arcing that could damage parts
It is not possible to control the field orientation
None of the above

20

A location where a magnetic field can be detected exiting or entering
a material is called:
A magnetic pole
A magnetic field
A flux field
Polarity
