Mechatronics Exam 1 Questions and
Answers (Latest Update 2025)
What is Mechatronics? - Correct Answers ✅Combination of
Disciplines
Computer Systems, Mechanical Systems, Electrical Systems,
Control Systems
Examples of Mechatronics Systems - Correct Answers
✅Car headlights, automatic door, flow controller
Devices: Sensors, Actuators, Electronics,
Computer/Processors
Micro-robots - Correct Answers ✅Can be injected into the
body without leaving a wound. Can deliver the medicine or
operate at precise locations (diagnose/cure)
EX: fighting cancer, minimally invasive eye surgery,
monitoring insulin
Computer controlled system - Correct Answers ✅Power
Source -> Actuators -> Machine/Process -> Sensors -> CPU -
> Actuators OR <-> Operator/communications interfaces
Sensor/Transducer - Correct Answers ✅a device which
transforms non-electrical physical quantity (Distance, Mass,
Pressure, Flow rate, strain, velocity, light, temperature,

movement, etc) into electrical signal (voltage, current,
Capacitance, frequency)
What are the Signals from Sensors? - Correct Answers
✅Voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, magnetic flux
intensity
-Typically weak, needs to be magnified, filtered, ready to
detect/analysis
Signal from sensors->Magnify and filter -> Detectable
Voltage or current
What is a passive component? - Correct Answers ✅No
need power to run the component
Resistance Equation - Correct Answers ✅R=pl/A
p is resistivity
l is length
A is cross section area
Parallel and Series Formulas - Correct Answers ✅Series:
Resistors and Inductors added like series, Capacitors like
parrallel
