Magnetic Particle Inspection Quiz

Faraday’s Law of Magnetic Induction states that:
1 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.

When a magnetic field cuts across a crack:

2 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

Magnetic particle inspection has several advantages over liquid

3 penetrant inspection which include:
Components with thin coatings can be inspected without removing the
coating
Components can be inspected more rapidly
The technique is more portable
Both A and B

The use of prods is sometimes restricted because:

4 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

Magnetic lines of force:

5 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

A volume of space where there is a change in magnetic energy is

6 called:
A magnetic field
A magnetic dipole
A magnetic pole
A magnetic domain

Which of the following has a large susceptibility to magnetic field?

7 Ferromagnetic materials

Diamagnetic materials
Paramagnetic materials
None of the above

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

Magnetic particle inspection can be performed on parts made from

9 which materials?
Iron, nickel, copper
Iron, nickel, cobalt
Nickel, cobalt, copper
Iron only

A material with a narrower hysteresis loop has:

10 Higher residual magnetism
Higher permeability
Higher residual magnetism
Higher retentivity

Magnetic particle inspection uses small ferromagnetic particles

11 simmilar to:
Copper filing
Iron filings
Magnesium filings
Permanent Magnets

When all the magnetic domains are aligned, the material is said to
12 be:
Magnetically saturated
Partially magnetized
Magnetically stable
Unmagnetized

A location where a magnetic field can be detected exiting or entering

13 a material is called:
A magnetic pole
A magnetic field
A flux field
Polarity

An object that has a magnetic pole on one end and a second equal
14 but opposite magnetic pole on the other is called a:

Dipole
Inductor
Capacitor
A ferromagnetic material

A longitudinal magnetic field has magnetic lines of force that run:

15 Parallel to the long axis of the part
90 degrees to the long axis of the part
Transverse to the long axis of the part
Opposite the waveform of the magnetic particle machine used

When using both a circular and longitudinal magnetic field, the

16 circular field is usually established first because:
It is more difficult to establish a circular field
It is easier to flip the domains of a circular field to a longitudinal field
It is easier to measure a longitudinal field
None of the above

The amount of reverse magnetic field which must be applied to a

17 magnetic material to reduce the magnetic flux to zero is called:
Retentivity
Residual magnetism
Coercive force
Permeability

A material with a wider hysteresis loop has:

18 Higher reluctance
Higher permeability
Lower retentivity
All of the above

A hysteresis loop shows the relationship between the:

19 Induced magnetic flux density and the magnetizing force
Induced magnetic flux density and the electron force
Electron flow and magnetic field strength
Flux density and number of coil turns

Components generally must be demagnetized because residual

20 magnetism can:
Affect machining and welding processes
Interfere with near by electronic components
Increase wear by attracting abrasive particles
All of the above
