Understanding Automotive Ignition Systems

Which of the following is a type of ignition system commonly used in modern vehicles?

• Magneto ignition system

• Capacitor discharge ignition (CDI) system

• Steam ignition system

• Hydraulic ignition system

What is the primary function of an ignition coil in an automotive ignition system?

• To store electrical energy

• To convert low voltage to high voltage

• To regulate fuel flow

• To cool the engine

Which component in the ignition system is responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture in the engine's cylinders?

• Ignition coil

• Distributor

• Spark plug

• Battery

In a traditional ignition system, what role does the distributor play?

• It generates the initial spark

• It distributes high voltage to the spark plugs

• It stores electrical energy

• It controls the engine temperature

How does a spark plug create a spark?

• By compressing air

• By creating a magnetic field

• By allowing high voltage to jump across a gap

• By heating up a filament

Which of the following is NOT a type of ignition system?

• Distributor-less ignition system (DIS)

• Coil-on-plug ignition system

• Hydraulic ignition system

• Electronic ignition system

What is the typical voltage range that an ignition coil can produce to create a spark?

• 12-24 volts

• 100-200 volts

• 5,000-45,000 volts

• 1,000-2,000 volts

In a coil-on-plug ignition system, where is the ignition coil located?

• Inside the fuel tank

• Directly on top of each spark plug

• In the trunk of the vehicle

• Under the driver's seat

What is the main advantage of a distributor-less ignition system (DIS) over a traditional ignition system?

• It is cheaper to manufacture

• It requires less maintenance

• It uses more fuel

• It produces less power
