Flashcards for CCEA GCSE Technology and Design (8900), split into the compulsory core content and then a subdeck for each Unit 2 option: Electronic and Microelectronic Control Systems, Mechanical and Pneumatic Control Systems, and Product Design. Follows the specification for first teaching from September 2022. Delete or suspend the option subdeck your course does not take.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.

Some of its cards

  • Comb joint
    A joint made from interlocking rectangular fingers cut into the ends of both pieces of wood
  • Polarised capacitor
    A capacitor that must be connected the correct way round in a circuit, because it has positive and negative terminals
  • Give a factor that influences the choice of pneumatic components in a system.
    The force and speed needed, the space available, and cost
  • What happens to the speed of rotation when a small gear drives a larger gear?
    It decreases; the larger gear turns more slowly
  • Why does an LED need a current-limiting resistor?
    To stop too much current flowing through the LED, which would damage or destroy it
  • What is the difference between a need and a want, in relation to a product?
    A need is something essential, while a want is something desired but not essential
  • The point in a pneumatic circuit where used air is released to the atmosphere
    Exhaust
  • What is the moment of a force?
    A measure of the turning effect of a force about a pivot, found by multiplying the force by its perpendicular distance from the pivot
  • Amp (A)
    The unit of electric current
  • State the reciprocal formula for the total resistance of two resistors in parallel.
    1Rt=1R1+1R2\dfrac{1}{R_t} = \dfrac{1}{R_1} + \dfrac{1}{R_2}
