2. 2.

   Define passive cooling.

   Hint

   Does it use external energy?

3. 3.

   What is the main goal of thermal management?

   • To reduce costs
   • To maintain safe temperature limits
   • To improve aesthetics

   Hint

   What happens if components exceed their rated temperatures?

4. 4.

   True or False: Active cooling methods include heat sinks.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Does it require energy to work?

5. 5.

   A high-power electronic device operates with a high power density in a small enclosure. Discuss the thermal management strategies that could be employed to prevent overheating.

   Hint

   Consider both passive and active cooling solutions for small spaces.

6. 6.

   Consider an electric vehicle that faces rapid load changes. Analyze how this impacts the thermal management approach.

   Hint

   How do fluctuating power demands affect heat generation and cooling requirements?
