What is an internal combustion engine?

Back

An internal combustion engine is a type of engine where fuel and air are mixed and ignited in a combustion chamber to produce power.

Front

What is the primary function of an alternator?

Back

The primary function of an alternator is to produce alternating current (AC) electricity, typically used to charge a vehicle's battery and power its electrical system.

Front

What is the difference between AC and DC current?

Back

AC (Alternating Current) changes direction periodically, while DC (Direct Current) flows in one direction.

Front

What role do electrodes play in a battery?

Back

Electrodes facilitate a chemical reaction with the electrolyte, allowing the battery to generate electrical energy.

Front

What is a generator?

Back

A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, capable of producing both AC and DC.

Front

Where are batteries commonly used?

Back

Batteries are commonly used in devices such as smartphones, laptops, and emergency lighting systems.

Front

What is the purpose of a combustion chamber in an engine?

Back

The combustion chamber is where fuel and air are mixed and ignited to produce energy in an internal combustion engine.

Front

What is the main difference between an alternator and a generator?

Back

Alternators produce only AC, while generators can produce both AC and DC.

Front

What is the function of an electrolyte in a battery?

Back

The electrolyte facilitates the movement of ions between the electrodes, enabling the chemical reaction that generates electricity.

Front

What is the significance of the ignition process in an internal combustion engine?

Back

The ignition process is crucial as it initiates the combustion of fuel and air, leading to the engine's power output.
