Which of the following conditions will occur if the brake solenoid coil burns out on a cargo winch with an electrical brake?

Correct Answer: Option C — The brake will be set by spring force.

Cargo winch electromagnetic holding brakes are spring-applied and electrically released. When power is supplied, the solenoid coil energizes to pull the shoes off the drum; consequently, a burned-out solenoid coil removes the magnetic lifting force, causing heavy internal springs to immediately clamp the brake.
