Circuit
A thin soft strip of metal that joins the circuit
fuse
This gets the engine running before combustion takes over
starter motor
The __________ stores electricity when the engine is off so that energy is available to operate the starting system
Battery
What resistance would produce a current of 200 amps with a voltage of 2,000 V?
10 Ohms
Car batteries are typically made of this
lead-acid
This interrupts the flow of electricity when it carries too much current but does not need replacing
circuit breaker
When jump starting a vehicle, the first connection you should make is the ____________
Positive on dead battery
The _________ is run by a belt and charges the battery when the engine is running.
Alternator
What voltage is necessary to produce a current of 200 amperes through a resistance of 100 Ω?
20,000 V
To make a 12 V battery, how many cells are needed
6
section of wires that acts like a fuse and melts in case of overload or short
fusible link
Once activated, the solenoid moves a ___________ into place, completing the circuit to start the starter motor
pinion gear
The _______________ controls the maximum voltage in the charging system to prevent overcharging of the battery
Voltage regulator
What is the current produced by a voltage of 240 V through a resistance of 0.2 Ω?
1200 Amps
A suitable ground under the hood of a car could be the
bare metal, engine block
This holds the fuses and circuit breakers
fuse box
When on, the ignition switch activates a device called a _____________
solenoid
this turns on the warn the driver that the charging system is not working correctly
charge indicator light
If 0.40 A current is pushed through a 30.0 Ω resistor by a battery, what is the voltage?
When jump starting a vehicle, the second connection you should make is the ____________
Positive on good battery
This is a group of wires bundled together
harness
Without the ______________, the starter motor could exceed its maximum speed once the engine begins to run
overrunning clutch
Batteries should be soaked in this for cleaning
baking soda and water
If a 6.00 volt battery will produce 0.300 A of current in a circuit, what is the resistance in the circuit?
20
this part of the car helps save on wiring
the frame
