Question

When a larger gear is turning a smaller gear, the smaller gear

• A. rotates faster
• B. rotates slower
• C. rotates with the same speed
• D. does not rotate

Answer 1

The correct option is A

rotates faster

If two gears are connected together and the larger one has more teeth than the smaller one, the smaller one has to turn round much faster to keep up. So this arrangement means the smaller wheel rotates faster than the bigger one.
