Question
check your understanding
a smaller gear driving a larger gear
○increases speed
○increases torque
○stops the robot from moving
○causes the robot to spin in place
Brief Explanations
When a smaller gear drives a larger gear, it is a gear - reduction system. In such a system, the speed of the output (larger gear) is decreased while the torque is increased. This is because the mechanical advantage provided by the gear ratio allows for more force to be applied at the expense of speed.
