Light Vehicle Ignition Systems Quiz 5

What is the purpose of an amplifier in an electronic ignition system?

• To decrease the electrical signal

• To increase the electrical signal

• To maintain correct ignition timing

• To switch electronic circuits

What does the term "static and dynamic timing" refer to in ignition systems?

• The timing set when the engine is stationary and when running

• The timing set only when the engine is stationary

• The timing set only when the engine is running

• The timing set using feedback to maintain correct ignition timing

Which of the following is a key term related to ignition systems?

• Fuel injector

• Carburetor

• Transistor

• Radiator

What is produced when an electric current is passed through a conductor?

• Heat

• Light

• Magnetic field

• Sound

What is the role of the spark plug in the ignition system?

• To store electrical energy

• To transform voltage

• To create a spark to ignite the fuel mixture

• To regulate engine temperature

What is the main purpose of the ignition system in an engine?

• To regulate engine temperature

• To generate the spark for ignition

• To control fuel injection

• To monitor engine performance

What occurs when the primary circuit is switched off in a coil?

• The magnetic field strengthens.

• The magnetic field collapses and induces an EMF.

• The coil stops producing a spark.

• The secondary winding stops working.

What is the purpose of a distributor in an early electronic system?

• To regulate fuel flow

• To interrupt the flow of primary current

• To control the exhaust system

• To manage the cooling system

What is the main purpose of the mechanical advance and retard mechanisms?

• To control the fuel injection timing

• To adjust the ignition timing

• To regulate the exhaust flow

• To manage the cooling system

Which component is responsible for creating considerable variations in the design of distributor units?

• The method of interrupting the flow of primary current

• The type of fuel used

• The design of the exhaust system

• The cooling mechanism
