1

The ignition coil is a(n):

63% Answer Correctly

step-down transformer

step-up transformer

amplifier

filter


Solution

The ignition coil steps up the 12 volts available from the battery or alternator to a voltage of 30,000 or more volts at the spark plug. Converting a lower voltage input into a higher voltage output makes the ignition coil a step-up transformer.


2

Too much fuel results in a __________ air-fuel mixture that burns quicker and cooler.

63% Answer Correctly

rich

lean

heavy

light


Solution

The stoichiometric ratio defines the proper ratio of air to fuel necessary so that an engine burns all fuel with no excess air. For gasoline fuel, the stoichiometric ratio is about 14.7:1 or for every one gram of fuel, 14.7 grams of air are required. Too much air results in a lean air-fuel mixture that burns more slowly and hotter while too much fuel results in a rich mixture that burns quicker and cooler.


3

Spark plugs receive current from the:

52% Answer Correctly

ignition coil

battery

distributor

alternator


Solution

Spark plugs receive current from the distributor and use it to spark combustion in the combustion chamber of a cylinder.


4

__________ are made with wide gap coils of rigid steel cable and both hold the vehicle chassis up off the ground and absorb energy from wheel movement making for a smoother ride.

67% Answer Correctly

suspension springs

ignition coils

control arms

shock absorbers


Solution

Suspension springs are made with wide gap coils of rigid steel cable and both hold the vehicle chassis up off the ground and absorb energy from wheel movement making for a smoother ride.
