Question 1 (True or False)

Answer
1. Engineering graphics and design (EGD) impact only on
technological applications than academic applications.
2. Electrical technology (electrical system and control) is purposed
to build a formation in electrical, electronic, and digital
principles.
3. The technological practice comprises cultural, organisational
and technical aspects.
4. The view that is value-neutral suggests it is unbiased in relation
to values and that its value depends on its application.
5. No one may design, manufacture, sell, or install an electric
fence without adhering to the health and safety standard
stipulated in the Regulations.
6. Various items of electrical machinery motors, cables, and
control equipment are used collectively as a system hence the
selection, preparation, installation, and protection safety when
they are used separately.
7. Shear forces are sketched to measure the graphical magnitude
of a shared force at any point where the load is applied.
8. Construction work involves aspects of civil technology such as
earthworks, but it is not waterproof.
9. One point perspective defines the position of the eye and draws
the view of the picture plane and the model.
10. The art of representing 3D objects on a 2D surface to give the
right impression of the height, width, depth, and position in
relation to each other is referred to as projection.
11. The hand jack works based on the force that is produced by
means of presence when lifting heavy objects.
12. A hand drill is the only tool in which bevel gears of unequal size
are used.
