ITP 150 EXAM 1 STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Technology (Intro) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Tools, machines, and methods that may be used to solve
real-world problems. The application of science, especially to industrial or commercial objectives.
History of Technology (Intro) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Mechanical (powered by manpower, draft
animals, water, and wind)
Scientific (after 1850)
- Wheel
- Water Wheels
- Steam Turbine
- Wind Mill
- Machine Tools
- *Steam Engine
- Steam Boat
- Automobile
- Locomotive
- Electric Motor
- Francis Turbine
- Internal Combustion Engine
- Practical Automobile
- Powered Airflight
- Jet Engine

, What are the three greatest technological developments (inventions) of all time? (Intro) - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅- steam engine (displaced water and wind as motive force, and populations. Spawned the
Industrial Revolution)
- electrochemical battery
- transistor (allowed miniaturization of electronic devices, eventually all technologies underpinning
modern communications)
Phases of Energy Flow (Intro) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Energy Source: Fuel
->
Prime Mover
->
Power Transmission
->
Use: Devices
Relationship of magnetism and electricity (Unit 1) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Electricity and magnetism
are believed to be opposite states of the same thing
Inventions/Inventors (Unit 1) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅- Luigi Galvani, Bio Electricity. Electrochemical
battery.
- Allesandro Volta, "Voltaic Pile". First electrochemical battery that could continuously provide an
electrical current.
- Otto von Guericke, "Static Generator". First electric generating device.
- Pieter von Musschenbroek, "Leyden Jar". first electrical storage device, stores static electricity.
- William Gilbert, English physicist. One of the originators of term "ELECTRICITY"
- Sir Humphrey Davy (British Royal Society). Electrochemical batteries
electrical vs. electronics (Unit 1) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅electrical: any device that use electricity
(electrons). Electrical components tend to be larger, and use higher alternating current (AC) voltages.
electronics: devices that manipulate electrical current. Most electronic components are very small, and
require small direct current (DC) voltages.
