What Do You Call the Device That Generates Electric Power for the Train in Persona 3 Reload?

This electricity-generating device on top of the train is known as a pantograph. Upon answering the question correctly, the class will look at you respectably, rewarding you with a Charm point to help you raise your social stats. 

Remember this answer for later; you’ll have to recall that a pantograph generates electricity as you complete your Spring Midterm. If you want a perfect score on every quiz and exam question, remember this class as you approach the end of May.

After answering the question, your teacher will tell you that most modern trains take in electricity by bringing the pantograph into contact with the train’s overhead wires, except for the city’s monorail that has it hidden underneath the vehicle. While she doesn’t describe its features as extensively as previous teachers, it’s enough to explain the pantograph’s concept and how it differs from a piston or master controller.

However, you won’t have to remember those details for future classes or your midterm. The crucial point to recall later is that the device’s name is a pantograph, and it generates electricity for the train.

Once you answer the question, you’ll gain a Charm point, which will go toward your social stats. Although this point alone won’t instantly level up your charm stat, it’ll help you out, especially if you answer every class question correctly and use other activities such as working at the mall’s cafe or watching movies to raise it further.
