Ignition Systems in Internal Combustion Engines

Ignition systems are used in internal combustion engines to ignite the fuel-air mixture inside the engine cylinder. This causes the mixture to combust, which produces the force that moves the piston and ultimately generates power.

Questions

• What are the four strokes of an internal combustion engine?
• What is the purpose of the ignition system in an internal combustion engine?
• How does the ignition system work?

Answers

• The four strokes of an internal combustion engine are suction, compression, power, and exhaust.
• The purpose of the ignition system in an internal combustion engine is to ignite the fuel-air mixture inside the engine cylinder.
• The ignition system works by using a spark plug to create a spark that ignites the fuel-air mixture.
