Types of Ignition Systems Quiz

Ignition switch = Used to turn ON or OFF the engine Ignition coil = Step up battery voltage for generating spark Distributor = Distributes high voltage to spark plugs Condenser = Stores electrical charge and releases it at the right moment

Uses battery to provide current = Battery ignition system or coil ignition system Breaker-triggered coil-ignition system = Magneto ignition system Simplest version of an ignition system = Battery ignition system or coil ignition system Employs breaker-triggered mechanism = Battery ignition system or coil ignition system

Main part of Ignition System = Ignition coil Connected with the Primary Winding of Ignition Coil = Ignition switch Stores electrical charge = Condenser Generates the spark = Spark plugs

<p>First circuit of Battery Ignition System = Includes battery, primary winding of ignition coil, condenser, contact breaker Second circuit of Battery Ignition System = Consists of winding of the ignition coil, distributor, spark plugs Contact Breaker = Opens the current flow through the primary winding to induce a magnetic field High Voltage Generation = Occurs in the secondary circuit and reaches 10,000 to 20,000 volts</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Current Flowing in Battery Ignition System = First flows to the primary circuit through ballast register, then to primary winding, and lastly to contact breaker Magnetic Field Induction = Generated around the primary winding when current flows through it High Voltage Generation Trigger = Occurs when the contact breaker opens causing a sudden fall in current Voltage Value Dependence = Depends on the number of turns in each coil in the ignition system</p> Signup and view all the answers
