Electric brakes are used to control the speed of vehicle during downhill travel.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question in an internship interview.

This is a very interesting question from Brakes in chapter Brakes and Dynamometers of Machine Dynamics

The correct answer is (a) True

For explanation I would say: The electric brake cannot bring the member to rest and are mostly used where large amounts of energy are to be transformed, hence retards heavy vehicles during downhill travel.
