The space around a magnet within which ferromagnetic materials are attracted to the magnetic is called? A magnetic fieldPermeability A Hysteresis curve A magnetic pole 3. Magnetic particle inspection is a means for detecting discontinuities at or near the surface in ??? materials? Metallic Nonconductive Ceramic Ferromagnetic 4. When a round steel bar is magnetised by passing alternating current through its length, flux density is?

The current in the coil The number of turns in the coil The diameter of the coil All of the above 6. A test object 10 inches - 25cm - long, and 2 inches - 5cm - in diameter, longitudinally magnetised in a 5 turn coil, requires a magnetising current of what amperage using AC current with a K factor of 22000? 4400 amps 880 amps 2200 amps 2400 amps 7. How much current would be required to circularly magnetise an article 10 inches - 25cm - long and 2 inches - 5cm - in diameter using 5.3 amps per mm diameter? 132.5 amps 397.5 amps 265 amps None of the above 8. A surface defect produces an indication which is? Sharp and distinct Wide and indefinite Usually nonrelevant Usually transverse 9. When magnetic fields are applied in two or more directions at the same time the resultant magnetic field is known as? A swinging field A leakage field An induced field A vector field 10. Which of the following is the general procedure followed when demagnetising an article? Reverse the field whilst reducing the magnetising force Reverse the field whilst increasing the current Keep the field constant whilst reducing the current Keep the field constant whilst increasing the current 11. Magnetic particle indications are caused when magnetic particles are attracted at which of the following? Flux leakage Magnetic poles Leakage fields All of the above

12. The bulb and filter of a black light must be cleaned regularly because? Cleanliness gives the lab a professional appearance Dust and dirt permit the passage of infra red and white light Dust and dirt reduce the passage of black light None of the above 13. A residual magnetic field is always? Stronger than the magnetic field producing it Weaker than the magnetisiing field producing it Equal to the magnetising field producing it None of the above 14. Occasionally, indications are caused when magnetic particles are accumulated and held mechanically or by gravity in surface irregularities. These indications are not formed by leakage fields. This type of indication is called?

A non relevant indication A spurious indication Magnetic writing A defect indication 15. When a magnetised article is touched by another piece of magnetised material, whatbtype of indication could be induced onto the first item? True relevant Magnetic writing False indication None of the above 16. Large, soft pads made of lead or copper braid are used as contact surfaces on head stocks to? Increase the contact area and reduce the current density Reduce the voltage to a safe level Attract excess particles To increase the current density in the part 17. Fine surface discontinuities are best detected by use of? Dry magnetic particles with direct current magnetisation Wet magnetic particles with alternating current magnetisation Dry magnetic particles with half wave rectified current Wet magnetic particles with hald wave rectified current 18. The most frequent cause for non relevant indications is? Using the wrong type of magnetising current Using excessive magnetising current Using a small amount of magnetising current Using a yoke instead of a permanent magnet 19.
