Q257

A torque converter multiplies torque when the stator is free wheeling-

A.
True
B.
False
Answer
C.
Both are correct
D.
None of these

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
A torque converter multiplies torque when the stator is held stationary by its one-way clutch.

When the stator is free wheeling, it does not contribute to torque multiplication. Instead, it allows the torque converter to function more like a fluid coupling, transmitting torque but not multiplying it.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: False.
