Why cars need a starter motor

What is the primary function of the electric motor in combustion engine vehicles?

• To store energy for later use

• To convert electrical energy into mechanical energy

• To provide fuel to the engine

• To convert mechanical energy into electrical energy

How were early car engines started?

• By using a remote control

• By turning a handle connected to the crankshaft

• By pressing a button

• By using a key ignition

What component in modern engines helps start the combustion process?

• The alternator

• The flywheel

• The fuel injector

• The exhaust system

Why does the starter motor require a high torque?

• To recharge the battery

• To increase fuel efficiency

• To rotate the crankshaft

• To rotate the flywheel

What happens once the engine is running?

• The alternator generates electricity and recharges the battery

• The flywheel stops rotating

• The pistons stop moving

• The starter motor continues to run
