20. For the rain test: (Multiple Choice)

1. Your head of powertrain has found a battery cell with excellent specifications and yet cheap. He decides upon a 142s2p accumulator configuration using the cells with a capacity of 5.8 Ah. The manufacturer specifies an internal impedance of 1.5 mOhm. However, after a while you notice the cells are of horrible quality and their real capacity varies significantly leading to an unbalanced accumulator.

He performed experiements to find an approximation of the cells SoC relation to their open-circuit voltage (EMF) as shown in the following figure:

Assume due to imbalance, exactly half of the accumulators cells are at 40% SoC and half at 80% SoC. What current will be drawn at the maximum allowed power usage? Give answer in Amps to nearest whole number

2. Your team is considering two languages, Verilog and VHDL, for programming an FPGA. Which languages could be used?

3. How much current flows when 99 C passes down a wire in 11 s? Give answer in amps as a whole number.

4. A capacitor with a capacitance of 100 μF is currently charged to a voltage of 199.8V. How much additional energy is needed to charge it to a voltage of 301.4V. Give answer to 4 significant figures in Joules

5. Your BSPD has been triggered although the driver did not touch the driving pedal. What could have gone wrong? (multiple choice)

6. Which of the following statements about LV battery packs with lithium based chemistry other than LiFePo4 is not true?

7. Which of the following requirements of the brake light assembly must be met to be rules compliant? (multiple choice)

8. The following processes have to be measured by the AMS. (Multiple choice)

9. You want to drive with a Lithium Polymer Cell with 3.2 Ah and weighing 70 g. Which of the following configurations would be allowed by the rules? Hint: Unorm = 3.7 V, Umax = 4.2 V

10. Which of these HV- and LV-components have to be fire-retardant? (Multiple Choice)

1. If the density of aluminium is 2.71 kg/m^3, find the volume of a 0.888 kg of aluminium. Give answer in m^3 with two decimal places.

2. In a gas pipe, the gas pressure pG is measured using a U-tube manometer connected at the bottom. Above the meniscus of the measuring liquid (mercury with density ρQ) on the gas side, there is a column of water with height h₂ and density ρW.
Question:
