Modern gasoline engines rely on a dedicated ignition system to ignite the compressed air-fuel mixture inside each cylinder. What is the primary function of the ignition coil in this system?
- ARecharge the vehicle battery by converting mechanical engine rotation into electrical current
- BRegulate the proportion of air and fuel entering the combustion chamber
- Transform low battery voltage into the high voltage needed to create a spark at the spark plugCevap
- DControl the mechanical opening and closing of the valves across each engine stroke
Cevap
Transform low battery voltage into the high voltage needed to create a spark at the spark plug
The correct answer identifies that the primary role of an ignition coil is to act as a step-up transformer, taking the 12-volt direct current from the vehicle's electrical system and multiplying it into the 20,000 to 50,000 volts required to ionize the air gap and create a reliable ignition arc at the spark plug.
