Technician A says that an advantage of EBS is that electronic signals travel through a circuit at close to the speed of light.Technician B says that EBS response times are much faster than systems relying on pneumatics in the control portion of a brake circuit.Who is correct?

A) Technician A only
B) Technician B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Question

Meena Bhattar · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Both Technician A and Technician B are correct. Technician A is correct in stating that electronic signals in an Electronic Braking System (EBS) travel at close to the speed of light, which is much faster than mechanical or pneumatic signals. Technician B is correct in stating that EBS response times are much faster than systems relying on pneumatics, due to the quicker transmission of electronic signals compared to the time it takes to build up pressure in a pneumatic system.
