What are the components of a car's ignition system?
1 Answers
Car's ignition system consists of a battery, generator, distributor, ignition coil, and spark plugs, among others. The power source, circuit breaker, and primary coil of the ignition coil form the low-voltage circuit section, while the ignition coil, distributor, and spark plugs constitute the high-voltage circuit section. During ignition, the spark plug can instantly release an electric spark with sufficient energy between its two electrodes, simultaneously igniting the fuel mixture in the engine cylinder. When the gasoline engine compresses to a certain point, the spark plug ignites the mixed gas, thereby enabling the engine to output power. The ignition system in cars is divided into two types: one is the traditional ignition system, and the other is the electronic ignition system. The distributor ignition system is currently a more advanced ignition system.
